EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning border featuring the biblical story of Moses and the Brazen Serpent. Created by Simon Bening, a renowned Flemish artist from Bruges, Belgium, between 1525 and 1530, this masterpiece is an exquisite example of his talent. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient tale to life on a small leaf of parchment measuring just 16.8 x 11.4 cm (6 5/8 x 4 1/2 in. ). Bening's use of tempera colors, gold paint, and gold leaf adds a touch of opulence to the artwork. In the scene depicted within the border, Moses can be seen holding up a staff with a bronze serpent wrapped around it. This refers to an event described in the Book of Numbers where God instructed Moses to create this symbol as a means for healing those who had been bitten by venomous snakes during their journey through the desert. Simon Bening's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each element contributes harmoniously to convey both religious significance and artistic beauty. The delicate precision with which he rendered even the smallest features demonstrates his mastery over his craft. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Bening's skill but also provides insight into religious narratives that have shaped our cultural heritage for centuries. It serves as a testament to how art has always played an essential role in storytelling and preserving history across time and continents.
