Early Morning in the Wilderness of Shur, 1860
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Frederick Goodall captures a poignant moment from the Old Testament. Set at the Well of Moses on the western shore of the Red Sea, this oil print transports us to a time long ago. In this scene, we witness a family group seated outside their tent on the far left, while a gathering of men sits in the center atop camels. All eyes are fixed upon a man with an outstretched arm on the far right. This artwork depicts an event recounted in Exodus where Moses led the people of Israel through the Red Sea and into the arid expanse of Shur desert. For three grueling days, they traversed without water until reaching this pivotal well. The painting's rich colors and attention to detail bring life to each character and geographical feature. Frederick Goodall skillfully portrays not only biblical figures but also elements that reflect daily life during that era – from traditional dress to camel transportation. As we gaze upon this masterpiece housed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for faith and survival amidst challenging circumstances. Through "Early Morning in the Wilderness of Shur". Goodall invites us to contemplate themes such as perseverance, divine guidance, and communal strength found within religious narratives. This piece serves as both historical documentation and an artistic testament to our shared spiritual heritage.
