About the piece
Created in 1675 by Michel Corneille the Younger, this oil on canvas work illustrates the biblical narrative of the Finding of Moses. The composition blends classical architecture and a lush river landscape with a refined, painterly approach to the figures and their vibrant drapery, characteristic of the French school during the reign of Louis XIV.
