About the Item

Oil on Canvas. French school of the late 17th century. The painting is inspired by one made by Nicolas Poussin around 1635, now in storage at the National Gallery in Edinburgh, but compared to that work ours has multiple variations and is much less extensive (eliminated the entire right side of Poussin's scene, which is full of foreground and background figures). The subject recounts a biblical episode from the book of 'Exodus: the people of Egypt were wandering in the Sinai desert, and they were without water; God then commanded Moses to take his staff, gather the elders and strike the rock on the Horeb before the people: from it sprang a spring of water, at which all the people could quench their thirst. The painting presented has undergone restoration and re-painting in the past. It is presented in a late 19th-century frame. Not signed.
