Workshop of Jacopo Bassano


(Bassano del Grappa circa 1510–1592)
Moses draws water from the rock,
oil on canvas, 74 x 102 cm, framed

Provenance:
Private European collection;
thence by descent to the present owner

The present painting relates to Jacopo Bassano’s prototype conserved in the Prado, Madrid (inv. no. P006312) and is compositionally even closer to Francesco Bassano’s version of the subject, dated circa 1590, now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (inv. no. Gemäldegalerie, 4300).

Jacopo established a profitable family business that included his sons Francesco, Leandro and Gerolamo. The domestic simplicity and humble realism of his painting as well as his iconographic innovations, in which biblical themes are treated with a genre-like emphasis on domestic settings and animals, were very popular among Venetian and foreign patrons. Flora and fauna are observed with the attention one might expect from a botanist, while the landscape fully conveys Bassano’s love of the farms and villages dotting the foothills of the Dolomites.

Francesco left Bassano in 1578 to establish himself in Venice, where he set up his own workshop, receiving important commissions in the Doge’s palace.
