EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Moses and the brazen serpent" showcases a medieval miniature illustration of a biblical scene. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The image was originally featured in "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" an influential publication by Paul Lacroix and Ferdinand Sere. The print depicts Moses holding up a bronze serpent, as described in Numbers 21 of the Old Testament. This powerful story recounts how God instructed Moses to create a brazen serpent and raise it on a pole so that those who looked upon it would be healed from snake bites. The vibrant colors used in this chromolitho bring life to this ancient tale, emphasizing its significance within Christian religious teachings. With intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship, this piece exemplifies the artistic mastery prevalent during the 19th century. The gilt bronze elements add depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its visual impact. Beyond its aesthetic value, "Moses and the brazen serpent" serves as a reminder of our shared history and cultural heritage. It invites viewers to reflect on biblical narratives that have shaped Western civilization for centuries. As we admire this remarkable work of art from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness one of Christianity's most iconic stories come alive through color and form.
