Image description

British (English) School. Oil painting on board, Moses with his Mother in the Bullrushes, British School, mid-19th century. Here see the terror of a mother about to abandon her child in order to save his life. The menacing dark clouds give the scene its mood. According to the biblical story the pharaoh in Egypt had ordered all male infants of Isarealites to be put to death, as their number was growing too quickly. Moses's mother made an ark of bulrushes and put him in it and laid it in the reeds of the Nile's riverbank. He is found and adopted by pharaoh's daughter but given a Hebrew nurse, who secretly is his mother, thus ensuring, circuitously, one day he would become the great leader of the Jewish peeople. This Victorian interpretation of the episode centres on the sentimental emotion of the moment. Kingston Lacy Estate, Dorset (Accredited Museum)
