Moses Strikes the Water from the Rock. XVII cent. Dutch school.
About the Item
Moses Strikes Water from the Rock Dutch school, XVII century. Workshop of Jacob de Wet (Haarlem, 1610-1675).
Technique: Oil on oak wood panel, composed of 3 horizontal panels.
In this evocative work, Moses stands in a cave, gathering the Israelites. There was no water to drink or for their cattle. The people were discontented in the desert.
But Moses and Aaron listened to the voice of God. With Aaron’s staff, Moses struck the rock, and water gushed forth abundantly, quenching their thirst.
Jacob de Wet’s workshop specializes in subjects from the Old and New Testaments.
The recognizable rectangular format, simple compositions, and clear narratives define his style. The interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of Rembrandt, adds timeless allure. The characters’ costumes, with their large hats and turbans, echo Rembrandt’s influence.
This painting is likely the work of one of De Wet’s pupils: Adriaen Verdoel (I) (1623-1675).
De Wet’s reputation in Haarlem was strong, and he held positions in the Haarlem St. Luke’s Guild (1645 and 1662).
His visits to Amsterdam also earned him recognition, where he was chosen as one of the fifteen “best connoisseurs” to judge Italian paintings by Gerrit Uylenburgh (1671).

- Antique English 19th century marine sceneBy William AndersonLocated in Woodbury, CTOutstanding English late 18th / early 19th century marine scene by one of Britain's best known and sought after painters. William (or Wiliam) Anderson (1757 – 27 May 1837) was a Scottish artist specializing in maritime and patriotic themes. He was well-regarded for his detailed and accurate portraits of ships under sail, exhibiting his works annually in London between 1787 and 1811 and then occasionally until 1834. Anderson influenced other artists, notably John Ward and others of the Hull school. Anderson's early life is obscure, but he is known to have trained as a shipwright before moving to London to become a maritime painter when he was about 30. His training served him well as a painter, providing "a practical nautical knowledge" of his subjects. He earned a reputation for "accuracy and refinement of detail" and was admired for his bright, clear colours. He worked in both oils and watercolours. He based his style on that of well-known Dutch maritime...Category
