About Artwork: (1743-4) "According to the Old Testament Book of Exodus, the Israelites and their flock were thirsty after failing to find water during their long journey through Egypt. God instructed Moses to stand in front of the people with the elders of Israel and strike the rock of Horeb with his staff. A fresh stream of water gushed from the rock, enabling the Israelites and their animals to quench their thirst. Giaquinto shows the elderly Moses brandishing the miraculous staff. The delicate hues of his draperies harmonise with those of the figures in the foreground and contrast with the dull colour of the rocky landscape. This is a modello, or highly finished painted study, for a fresco in the apse of the basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, Rome. As with the related Brazen Serpent, also in the National Gallery, the dimensions are slightly larger than is usual for an oil sketch. This is probably so that the design could be approved by the Pope and the procurator of the Cistercian Order, Raimondo Besozzi, before its enlargement in fresco." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
