Ancient Italian painting from the 17th century. Oil work on canvas, first canvas, depicting Moses saved from the waters, the finding of the patriarch in the waters of the Nile by the princess of Egypt.
The composition is dominated by the figure of the pharaoh's daughter, embellished with a refined crown, a robe with rich drapery and a large cloak that animates the entire scene. With a gesture of great elegance, the princess holds out her hand towards the newborn Moses, presented by a young kneeling girl, while the other handmaids witness with participation the moment destined to change the course of history.
The artist demonstrates considerable sensitivity in the rendering of expressions and in the construction of drapes, expertly playing on the contrast between the preciousness of the princess's clothes and the simplicity of the other figures. In terms of executive quality and stylistic language, the work appears to be attributable to the Genoese school of the second half of the seventeenth century.
Ancient gilded wooden frame, not contemporary, with some signs of aging and small drops in gilding. Painting of considerable size and decorative charm, ideal for classic environments, libraries, professional studios or prestigious residences.
