Circle of Pietro Dandini, Italian 1646-1712-... Lot 18

Circle of Pietro Dandini, Italian 1646-1712- Moses Striking Water from the Rock; oil on canvas, 71.6 x 59.2 cm., (unframed). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work recalls canvases by Dandini in its dramatic rendering of the compositional elements in high Baroque style. The anonymous artist here has adopted stark contrasts of light and shade, deep colours, and an overall dynamism to achieve a sense of grandeur and awe for his rendering of the Old Testament scene in which the prophet Moses strikes the grounds to draw forth water for the Israelites.
