Original Description
Giovanni Battista Pittoni the younger's The Finding of Moses (1720-1725) is a masterful Baroque-Rococo transitional work that bathes the biblical scene in luminous theatricality. The composition revolves around Pharaoh's daughter discovering the infant Moses in Nile's reeds, with attendants leaning in with exaggerated gestures – their billowing silks and flushed cheeks radiating warmth against the cool river landscape. Pittoni's signature fluid brushwork softens the Baroque drama into elegant movement, while the strategic glow on Moses' basket creates a divine focal point. As vice-president of Venice's Accademia di Belle Arti, Pittoni exported this Venetian Rococo style across Europe, making this painting a key example of 18th-century narrative painting's shift from solemnity to decorative splendor. The work's balance of sacred storytelling and sensual aesthetics marks it as a pivotal bridge between Rubens' dynamism and Tiepolo's airy lightness.
For contemporary spaces, this painting's rich ochres and teal-green harmonies would elevate a study or formal sitting room. Choose a gilded Rococo-style frame to echo its original period intent, or opt for a minimalist black frame for modern contrast. Ideal display height is 145-160cm from floor to center (matching its 62.5 × 77.5cm dimensions at eye level). Position it where natural light enhances its golden undertones – perhaps opposite cream-toned walls or alongside emerald velvet furnishings for chromatic dialog. In offices, pair with burl wood desks and brass accents to underscore its warm palette, avoiding competing artworks within 1.5m radius to let its narrative details command attention. Scale reproductions to 60% original size for smaller alcoves while maintaining the 1:1.24 width-height ratio.
