Q: Is Pharaoh"s Daughter Discovers Moses in the Rush Basket, Guilliam du Gardijn, c. 1615 - c. 1630 under copyright?

No, this artwork is in the public domain.

Artwork Description

This Discovery of Moses is one of only two known paintings by Du Gardijn executed directly on panel.2 Both are history paintings.3 The rather unaccomplished figures in the present painting show the influence of Lastman and Jacob Pynas, as do such motifs as the umbrella in the centre of the composition and the acanthus at the lower right. The landscape has little in common with Du Gardijn’s works on paper that include landscape elements. The short strokes, many of them white highlights on the trees at the right of the picture, however, are also found, and to a much greater degree, in a very strange anthropomorphic landscape executed by Du Gardijn now in Alkmaar.4 This stylistic feature may also have been derived from the work of Jacob Pynas.
