About the piece
Painted in 1651 by the renowned French Baroque master Nicolas Poussin, this work illustrates the biblical narrative of the Finding of Moses. The composition exemplifies Poussin's late style, featuring figures arranged with statuesque clarity against an idealized landscape that blends Egyptian motifs with classical Roman architecture. The vibrant blues, reds, and yellows of the drapery create a striking focal point against the atmospheric sky and river.
