Painting Description
"Moses Pointing at the Brazen Serpent" is a significant oil on canvas painting by the Dutch artist Abraham Bloemaert, created in the early 17th century. This work is an exemplar of the Northern Mannerist style, which was prevalent in the Dutch Republic during Bloemaert's time. The painting depicts the biblical episode from the Book of Numbers (21:4–9), where Moses, in obedience to God's command, erects a serpent of brass to heal the Israelites suffering from venomous snake bites. In this scene, Moses is shown gesturing towards the serpent mounted on a pole, as the afflicted Israelites look on with a mixture of suffering and hope.
Abraham Bloemaert (1566–1651) was a prolific Dutch painter and printmaker known for his religious and mythological scenes, landscapes, and genre paintings. His style evolved over the years, initially influenced by the Mannerist artists of his time and later incorporating the naturalism that characterized the Dutch Golden Age of painting. "Moses Pointing at the Brazen Serpent" reflects Bloemaert's mature style, characterized by dramatic use of light, rich color palette, and dynamic composition.
The painting is notable for its intricate depiction of human emotion and physicality, as well as its use of allegory and symbolism, which were common in the religious artworks of the period. The image of the Brazen Serpent itself has been interpreted as a prefiguration of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, with the serpent representing sin and the pole signifying the cross, offering salvation to those who look upon it.
"Moses Pointing at the Brazen Serpent" is considered an important work in Abraham Bloemaert's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of religious iconography and the development of Dutch art in the early 17th century. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and historical significance, and it continues to be studied for its theological implications and its role in the evolution of European art.
