About the piece
Painted in 1622 by Bartholomeus Breenbergh, this oil on copper work is a masterful example of the Dutch Italianate style. The scene depicts the biblical finding of baby Moses set against a vast, romanticized landscape of rugged cliffs, ancient ruins, and a winding river, all rendered with the delicate precision characteristic of Dutch masters working on a small scale.
