The Finding of Moses. Artist: Jacopo Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti) (Italian, Venice 1518/19-1594 Venice). Dimensions: 30 1/2 x 52 3/4 in. (77.5 x 134 cm).The biblical story of the Finding of Moses was popular in Venice. Tintoretto gives it an unusual twist by showing Pharaoh's daughter watching as a nurse is found for the baby (actually his own mother), rather than the more typical discovery in the bulrushes. The meaning of the hunting scenes in the background remains mysterious. The proportions of the figures and the painting's sketchy quality have led some critics to suggest that it might be by Jacopo's son, Domenico. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The Baptism of Christ. Artist: Nicolás Enríquez (Mexican, 1704-1790). Dimensions: 22 1/4 × 16 1/2 in. (56.5 × 41.9 cm)Framed: 25 1/4 × 19 3/4 × 1 1/2 in. (64.1 × 50.2 × 3.8 cm). Date: 1773.In 1773 Nicolás Enríquez created a set of five paintings (see 2014.171-.175) for the private devotional use of Juan Bautista Echeverría, a Spanish-born merchant. Echeverría's choice of subject matter is highly personal, reflecting both his Basque roots and his extended residence in Mexico. Enríquez lavished special attention on the painting of Echeverría's namesake, St. John the Baptist. The painter took care to detail the crystalline drops of water poured on Christ's head and to show his feet submerged in the flowing water of the river. An inscription avows that the image was painted because of its owner's devotion. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
