About the piece
Created around 1621 by Giovanni Lanfranco, this work is a quintessential example of Roman Baroque painting. The composition captures the biblical narrative of Moses receiving the messengers from Canaan, centered around a monumental cluster of grapes that serves as a symbol of the land's fertility, rendered with the artist's characteristic energy and masterful use of light and shadow.
