EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Moses dispels the snakes by releasing ibises" we are transported back to the biblical era, where a powerful scene unfolds before our eyes. Created in 1704 by Jan Luyken and Pieter Mortier, this artwork beautifully captures the moment when Moses, accompanied by a group of Israelites, entreats God to rid their camp of venomous snakes. The composition is filled with tension and anticipation as Moses raises his hands towards the heavens, fervently seeking divine intervention. The intricate details in Luyken's etching bring each character to life - their expressions reflecting hope mixed with trepidation. Surrounding them are menacing serpents slithering through the desert sands. However, what truly sets this image apart is Moses' ingenious solution: he releases a flock of majestic ibises into the air. As these elegant birds take flight, they become instruments of deliverance for the Israelites. With grace and precision, they swoop down upon the snakes below – dispersing them like scattered shadows. Luyken's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this historical moment. The contrast between darkness and illumination symbolizes not only physical salvation but also spiritual enlightenment. This remarkable piece from Quint Lox's collection offers us an opportunity to reflect on themes such as faith, courage, and divine intervention that resonate across time and cultures. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity or danger, there is always hope for
