Rescue of Moses from the waters of the Nile 1580

Paolo Veronese's "Rescue of Moses from the Waters of the Nile" (1580) depicts the biblical story of Moses being found in the Nile River. The painting showcases Veronese's mastery of color and composition, with a lively group of figures gathered around the infant Moses. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush trees and a distant cityscape, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The painting is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. The work is characteristic of Veronese's style, which combined elements of Venetian Renaissance painting with a more dramatic and theatrical approach.
