This painting depicts Moses using the rod that had parted the Red Sea to bring water miraculously out of a rock, quenching the thirst of the thirsty and weary Israelites. The subject had political overtones in the Netherlands, for the Dutch drew parallels between their decades-long quest for independence from Spain and the Israelites' escape from Egypt.

About one-third of Joachim Wtewael’s extant paintings are on copper, a smooth shiny support that lends them a pronounced luminosity. Wtewael’s talent for executing such meticulous, miniature scenes was recognized by patrons, including Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who owned one by the artist, most likely "The Golden Age."

Andromeda, daughter of the king of Ethiopia, stands chained to a rock as she awaits her fate: she is being sacrificed to a sea monster in order to save her land from destruction. Having spotted her and fallen in love, the hero Perseus swoops down on his winged-horse Pegasus to slay the beast and win the princess's hand.

This painting is one of several by Joachim Wtewael that follow a Dutch tradition of didactically pairing a foreground kitchen scene with a background religious one. Visible in the distance are episodes from the parable of the great supper (Luke 14:16–14).
宴席的比喻
- 有一個同席的人聽了這些話，就向耶穌說:「將來能在天上的國裏吃飯的，才是有福的!」
- 耶穌給他說:「有一個人設了盛宴，邀請了許多人。
- 到了宴會的時刻，他便打發僕人去給被請的人說: 請來罷! 已經齊備了。
- 眾人開始一致推辭。第一個給他說：我買了一塊田地，必須前去看一看，請你原諒我。
- 另一個說：我買了五對牛，要去試試牠們，請你原諒我。
- 別的一個說：我才娶了妻，所以不能去。
- 僕人回來把這事告訴了主人。家主就生了氣，給僕人說：你快出去，到城中的大街小巷，把那些貧窮的、殘廢的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的，都領到這裏來。
- 僕人說：主，已經照你的吩咐辦了，可是還有空位子。
- 主人對僕人說：你出去，到大道以及籬笆邊，勉強人進來，好坐滿我的屋子。
- 我告訴你們：先前被請的那些人，沒有一個能嘗我這宴席的。」

According to legend, Sebastian was an officer in the Roman guard who was condemned to death for converting to Christianity. Most artists depicted his body after it was pierced by arrows, but Wtewael chose the moment before the executioners let their weapons fly.

Holland Cotter, reviewing "Pleasure and Piety: The Art of Joachim Wtewael" in the New York Times:
"None of this would matter if he had been a mediocrity. But he wasn’t. He was one of the great Dutch artists of the years leading up to the 17th-century Golden Age. And it’s at least in part a measure of his personal diffidence that the exhibition called “Pleasure and Piety: The Art of Joachim Wtewael (1566-1638)” at the National Gallery of Art here is the first survey of his career. Comfortable in scale — 37 paintings and some drawings, roughly a third to a half of his known output — it brings a major figure into view. And it demonstrates both what was brilliant and what was confusing about a man who could think like a devil and paint like an angel."
