In The Finding of Moses, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema reimagines a biblical moment with the sumptuous grandeur of ancient Egypt. The composition unfolds along the Nile’s edge, where Pharaoh’s daughter, ensconced on a litter of embroidered linens and shaded by lavish parasols, receives the infant Moses in a basket of lotus blossoms. Every figure is meticulously adorned, and the riverbank blossoms with Egyptian flora, lending an immersive quality to this theatrical tableau. Alma-Tadema's command of archaeological detail and narrative elegance imbues the scene with a sense of divine orchestration and regal serenity.
