EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pieter Fransz. de Grebber's masterpiece, "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" painted between 1625-1646. The oil on canvas artwork measures 143.2 x 109 cm and is currently housed at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from the book of Numbers in the Bible. In this scene, the children of Israel express their discontentment towards Moses and God for leading them through challenging times. As a consequence, God sends fiery serpents to bite them as punishment. De Grebber's expert brushwork brings this biblical tale to life with vivid colors and intricate details. The composition highlights both male and female figures among the Israelites who are suffering from snake bites while looking up at Moses for salvation. This piece belongs to the Dutch Golden Age period, known for its flourishing art scene during the 17th century. It exemplifies baroque style elements with its dramatic lighting effects and emotional intensity. "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" serves as a powerful reminder of faith, redemption, and divine intervention within Christian teachings. Its historical significance combined with artistic excellence makes it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition focused on religious art or Dutch masterpieces from that era.
