Description

Frederick Goodall's painting "The Finding of Moses" is a masterpiece of Victorian art that has captivated art lovers for more than a century. This work of art is a stunning depiction of the Biblical story of Moses, who was found floating in a basket on the Nile River by Pharaoh's daughter.

Goodall's artistic style is impressive in this painting, with a smooth and detailed brushwork technique that creates a sense of realism and depth. The painting's composition is impressive, with a careful arrangement of characters and landscape elements creating a sense of balance and harmony.

Color is another highlight of this artwork, with a rich and vibrant color palette evoking the beauty and majesty of ancient Egypt. Warm golds and yellows combine with cool blues and greens to create a sense of light and shadow that is stunning.

The story behind the painting is also fascinating. Goodall traveled to Egypt in the 1860s and was impressed by the beauty and majesty of the landscape and culture. This painting is one of many he created during his time in Egypt, and it is one of his most famous.

There are many little-known aspects of this painting that make it even more interesting. For example, the figure of the woman holding Moses in the painting is actually Pharaoh's daughter, who became Moses' adoptive mother. In addition, the painting was exhibited at the World's Fair in Paris in 1867, where it received a gold medal.
