Original Description
In Francis Hayman’s The Finding of the Infant Moses in the Bullrushes, a tender yet dramatic moment from the biblical narrative unfolds with Rococo grace and theatrical flair. Painted around 1761 as part of a series for London’s Foundling Hospital, the work captures Pharaoh’s daughter and her attendants discovering the infant Moses amid lush reeds, bathed in soft, golden light. Hayman, a founder of the Royal Academy, blends sentimental storytelling with loose, expressive brushwork—a bridge between baroque grandeur and emerging English portrait traditions. The painting’s delicate interplay of emotion and natural detail reflects Hayman’s influence on 18th-century British art, though his reputation was later overshadowed by contemporaries like Hogarth. Its historical significance lies in its charitable commission, merging art with social welfare, a progressive concept for its time.
For a refined yet welcoming decor scheme, this painting’s warm earth tones and pastoral composition would harmonize beautifully in a study or lounge. Its ideal setting is a wall with muted olive or taupe backdrops, allowing the figures’ rosy hues and the bullrushes’ greens to pop. Choose a gilded or dark wood frame to echo its 18th-century origins, and pair it with neoclassical furniture or textured linen upholstery for cohesion. At approximately 36 x 48 inches (typical of Hayman’s larger works), it commands attention as a focal point—avoid cluttered arrangements. In offices, it lends quiet dignity; in homes, it sparks conversation. For balance, flank it with sconces or place it near a window to enhance its natural luminosity.
