About the piece
Created by the Symbolist master Gustave Moreau in 1877, this evocative oil painting depicts the biblical story of the infant Moses. Set against a backdrop of atmospheric Egyptian ruins and a looming Sphinx, the glowing figure of the child rests in a decorated basket among blooming lotuses and exotic birds, creating a scene of profound stillness and mystery.
