17th Century Oil on Canvas Italian Painting MosesSaved from the Waters , 1630
About the Item
Great Italian painting from the first half of the 17th century. Oil artwork on canvas depicting a very high quality fragment of a Moses saved from the waters attributable to Francesco Curradi (1570/1661), the most important exponent of Florentine devotional painting of the 17th century (lacking authenticity). Florence's taste for luxury is evident in the quality of the drapery and above all in the symbols (for example the lily) that decorate the elegant robes. The Bible says that to escape Pharaoh's persecution, Moses' mother abandoned her child in a basket on the waters of the Nile. He was then found and adopted by the daughter of Pharaoh himself who had gone to the river together with her handmaids. Note a third character at the top left looking toward us, breaking the fourth wall. Presumably it is a self-portrait of the painter himself or a portrait of the client. Painting of extraordinary size and impact adorned with a modern sculpted and gilded frame. Painting that has undergone restoration with relining, replacement of the frame and restoration of color in some places (see photo). Overall in a fair conservative state. Sight size H 172 x W 136 cm.
