Mozes wordt gevonden 1607

Sisto Badalocchio created this print, "Moses is found," around 1607, capturing a pivotal scene from the Book of Exodus. Here, we see the moment Pharaoh's daughter discovers the infant Moses in a basket along the Nile. The basket itself is a potent symbol, representing both vulnerability and hope. This motif echoes in various cultures, from Romulus and Remus set adrift on the Tiber to cradles bobbing on mythical floods. The gesture of reaching out—the women leaning towards the child—is a primal expression of compassion. We find similar gestures across epochs, from depictions of the Madonna and Child to scenes of rescue after natural disasters. Consider the emotional resonance of abandonment and salvation, a psychological undercurrent that makes this scene universally compelling, tapping into our collective memory of loss and redemption. This image, like the myth it portrays, reflects the enduring human quest for meaning in the face of adversity, a narrative constantly reshaped yet eternally relevant.
