Description of the artwork
Work: Copy after “The Discovery of Moses” by Veronese
Artist: Edgar Degas
Year: 1855
Museum: Fitzwilliam Museum
Dimensions: 17.3 x 31.2 cm
Created in 1855 in the vibrant city of Paris, this canvas masterfully fits within the neoclassical movement, an artistic movement that celebrates rationality and harmony inspired by antiquity. Michelangelo and Veronese are palpable influences in this painting, created at the heart of an era where art reinvents itself in modernity. Housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum, this masterpiece contemporary recalls the frescoes of the Renaissance while exploring deeper and more moving themes.
“Beauty hides from the eyes of the indifferent.” This reflection from Edgar Degas could resonate with the inspirations that guided his skilled hand in creating this canvas. Imagine a sweet afternoon in the Parisian boulevards, the light haloed with timeless magic, when the artist, captivated by the stories of ancient Egypt, sketches the grandeur of Moses touching the divine light.
This painting eloquently narrates the discovery of Moses by Pharaoh's daughter, a moment where humanity meets divinity. The rich composition testifies to exquisite attention to detail, where each character ages with emotion and depth. The viewer is invited to feel the weight of a centennial event, a striking pictorial work that connects the sacred and the everyday.
This painting is at a crossroads in Edgar Degas's career, marking a turn towards works like “The Dancers” and “The Dance Class,” which reveal his ongoing exploration of the human form. This canvas, with its exceptional meticulousness, enriches Degas's stylistic palette while showcasing his classical heritage and the Renaissance of his sensibility.
The technique of this canvas relies on fresh and transparent glazes layered, creating an unparalleled emotional depth. Each brushstroke reveals Degas's virtuosity, his precise application, and his balance between shadow and clarity, birthing light as never seen before. The choice of impastos adds a palpable texture, a movement that captivates the gaze.
The vibrant colors of azure and ochres in this painting evoke the warmth of the summer sun, as well as the melancholy of the quest. The shades intertwine, translating the immensity of such a discovery through the richness of pigments and sustained harmony, endowing the canvas with a deeply emotional soul.
This reproduction has been meticulously executed by hand, with oil paint on museum-quality linen canvas. A manual sketching process prevailed before the meticulous layering process began, which took 40 hours. The colors used, such as Prussian blue and alizarin crimson, testify to the demands of a rigorous and elegant artistic movement. Every detail has been worked on with patience to respect the soul of this painting.
To ensure the longevity of this canvas, a protective UV varnish has been applied, ensuring color stability and durability of the work. This reproduction of the painting is not just a simple copy, but a precious interpretation that you can pass down from generation to generation.
