EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable painting "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" by Sebastien Bourdon. Created in 1653-54, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Moses found in the Old Testament. As described in Exodus, when God sent venomous snakes to punish the Israelites for their disobedience, Moses interceded on their behalf. In an act of divine guidance, he was instructed to create a bronze serpent and raise it high on a pole. Those who looked upon this symbol were miraculously healed from snake bites. Bourdon's skillful brushwork brings this miraculous event to life with vivid colors and intricate details. The viewer can almost feel the intensity of worship as people gather around Moses, praying fervently while gazing at the brazen serpent suspended above them. This religious masterpiece not only captures a significant moment from Christian history but also serves as a powerful reminder of faith and redemption. It highlights humanity's ability to find solace and healing through prayer and devotion. With its profound symbolism and exquisite execution, "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" continues to inspire viewers today with its timeless message of hope amidst adversity.
