## Commentary

Vividly De Wet illustrated the Bible story in which the infant Moses was found by Pharaoh&#39;s daughter in a reed basket floating on the Nile. The princess and her ladies-in-waiting look with surprise at the find. Gerrit \(Gerardus\) de Wet was a follower and imitator of Rembrandt. &lt;P&gt; &lt;TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR=&#34;\#99CCCC&#34;&gt; &lt;TR VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;IMG SRC=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 5 minutes\):&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A HREF=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/19\_cent/rossini\_moses.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;B&gt;Gioacchino Rossini: Moses, Moses&#39; Prayer&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt; &lt;BR CLEAR=LEFT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
