The Finding of Moses is a painting by an artist trained at what school?
The Finding of Moses (Alma-Tadema painting) The Finding of Moses is a 1904 painting by the Anglo-Dutch artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema. It was one of his last major works before his death in 1912, but quickly fell out of favour; according to rumour, it was sold in the 1960s for its frame. After appreciation of Victorian painting was renewed towards the end of the 20h century, it was described in an auction catalogue in 1995 as "the undisputed masterpiece of [Alma-Tadema's] last decade, as well as a late (perhaps the final?) flowering of the nineteenth-century's love-affair with Egypt". It was sold at auction in 2010 for nearly US$36 million.
Edda Renouf Edda Renouf (born 1943) is an American painter and printmaker. Renouf attended Sarah Lawrence College, graduating with a B.A. and earned her M.F.A. from Columbia University. She has exhibited in both America and Europe, living and working in New York and Paris since 1972. Renouf is known for altering the surfaces of canvas or paper before applying paint. She removes fibers from these materials or cuts into their surfaces, next adds pigment, and finally sands down the applied medium to bring the alternations she has made out to the forefront. The resulting lines or other marks that appear in the final surface of the work of art call attention to the underlying texture of the surface. While their grid-like compositions suggest a formal relationship with the work of Agnes Martin, Renouf's derives from a technique and method that is unique from her contemporary.
