# Pharaoh's Daughter with Her Attendants and Moses in the Reed Basket [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BRAY, Jan de]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 121 x 164 cm ## Commentary The Finding of Moses was a popular theme in painting. It had previously been depicted by several Italian masters, among them Raphael and Veronese. It was also illustrated by several 17th-century Dutch artists. The figures in Jan de Bray's representation are, however, far larger. They form dominant elements in the composition and emerge as such distinct personalities that it can be assumed De Bray had merely used the subject as a pretext to paint a group portrait. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 5 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/19\_cent/rossini\_moses.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Gioacchino Rossini: Moses, Moses' Prayer</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Allegorical Family Portrait]() - [Bacchus]() - [David Playing the Harp \(detail\)]() - [David Playing the Harp]() - [Haarlem Printer Abraham Casteleyn and His Wife Margarieta van Bancken \(detail\)]() - [Haarlem Printer Abraham Casteleyn and His Wife Margarieta van Bancken]() - [Haarlem Printer Abraham Casteleyn and His Wife Margarieta van Bancken]() - [Haarlem Printer Abraham Casteleyn and His Wife Margarieta van Bancken]() - [Joseph Receiving His Father and Brothers in Egypt]() - [Portrait of a Man Seated at a Table in his Study]() - [Portrait of a Young Woman]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
