Edwin Long was born in Bath and began his career painting portraits and Spanish subjects. After visiting Egypt and Syria in 1874 he changed his subject matter to exotic scenes set in the Middle East and achieved enormous popularity and wealth. The combination of archaeology, scantily dressed women, exotic settings and a biblical story was a bestseller. Although he was praised for his archaeological accuracy, the hieroglyphs in this painting showing the finding of Moses do not make sense, despite being individually accurate.
