Artwork Description

The Mother Of Moses by Simeon Solomon, 1860

Framed Canvas Art

In this tender biblical scene, Solomon captures Jochebed cradling the infant Moses while her daughter Miriam looks on with protective devotion. The composition centers on the warm ochre and amber tones of the domestic interior, where soft light filters from the upper right corner to illuminate the mother's gentle expression and the swaddled child. Solomon's meticulous attention to fabric textures and decorative details reveals itself in Miriam's richly patterned dress with its geometric borders and the flowing drapery of Jochebed's head covering; the background tapestry featuring a dove motif adds symbolic resonance to this moment of maternal sacrifice and divine protection.

Read full artwork description

Painted when Solomon was just twenty years old, this work demonstrates the young artist's early mastery of the Pre-Raphaelite principles he had absorbed through his association with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Burne-Jones. Created during the height of Victorian interest in biblical narrative painting, The Mother Of Moses reflects Solomon's Jewish heritage and his unique position as one of the few Jewish artists working within the predominantly Christian Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood circle. The painting exemplifies Solomon's ability to infuse traditional religious subjects with psychological depth and emotional authenticity, characteristics that would define his contribution to British Symbolist art before his career was tragically curtailed by scandal and mental illness.

Our museum-grade giclee reproduction preserves the subtle gradations between the golden highlights on the infant's face and the deep sienna shadows that anchor the composition's lower register; every thread in Solomon's carefully rendered textile patterns emerges with crisp definition that standard prints obscure. The delicate modeling of flesh tones, from the warm peachy luminosity of the children's skin to the weathered dignity of the mother's hands, maintains the full tonal complexity that makes Solomon's technique so distinctive. Our composite frame, finished in warm antique gold with subtle bronze undertones, harmonizes perfectly with the painting's amber and ochre palette while providing the classical gravitas befitting this masterpiece of Victorian religious art.

Digital Restoration

Many older painting have lost their vibrancy with age as varnish yellows and dirt accumulates. Our artisans use the latest in digital technology to restore these masterpieces to their former glory.

Fredrix Canvas with HP Latex Inks

All of our reproductions are printed on archival quality Fredrix poly/cotton blend canvas for longevity and vibrancy. This canvas has a more traditional look and feel compared to the 100% polyester "canvas" used by some competitors .

HP Latex Inks are non toxic and environmentally friendly compared to harsh, solvent based inks while still providing excellent range throughout the color gamut.

Poplar Stretcher Frame

Our stretcher frame is kiln dried Poplar that has been sustainably harvested from sawmills in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia and is Appalachian Hardwood Verified Sustainable by the AMHI.

This is the best stretcher frame available and is far superior to the MDF and imported pine used by many competitors.

Premium Resin Frames

We exclusively use premium resin frames imported from South Korea, the world leader in this frame type. See The Frame for more information.

Frames are cut by our craftsmen on industry standard 14" Pistorious Double Miter saws for perfect cuts every time.

Perfect Corners

Frames and stretcher frames are joined carefully and precisely by our trained staff. We use only the finest in programmable, Italian joiners for all of our frames.

Hand Stretched

Our canvases are stretched by hand for an authentic touch of Old World craftsmanship.

Hand Embellished

Our artisans add clear gesso embellishments over the entire canvas to bring an unrivaled level of authenticity to our reproductions. The embellishments add a depth and dimensionality that is breathtaking.

Assembled With Pride

The stretched and embellished canvas is carefully secured to the frame with furniture grade staples and plywood corner gussets are added to the frame for additional structural integrity.

Dust Cover and Wire Hardware

A kraft paper dust cover is added to the back of the artwork for a clean, professional finish and a stout wire and hanging hardware is installed for ease of hanging when you receive your Canvas Classics painting.

Quality Assurance and Packing

Your artwork is given a final quality assurance check before it is professionally packed for shipping to its new forever home.

We pack incredibly well, but parcel services can be hard on any package. If you receive your artwork with any damage, please let us know immediately and we'll help get the issue resolved.
