"The Brazen Serpent" is a significant religious painting by the Italian Rococo artist Corrado Giaquinto, created in the mid-18th century. This work of art depicts the biblical episode from the Book of Numbers (21:4-9), where Moses, following God's instructions, erects a serpent of brass upon a pole to cure the Israelites of the venomous snake bites they suffered as a punishment for their lack of faith. Those who looked upon the bronze serpent were miraculously healed, prefiguring the salvation offered through Christ, as interpreted in Christian theology.

Corrado Giaquinto (1703–1766) was a prominent painter from the region of Puglia, who achieved considerable success in Rome and later in Spain, where he became court painter to King Ferdinand VI. His work is characterized by its dynamic compositions, vibrant color palette, and the emotional intensity of the figures depicted. "The Brazen Serpent" exemplifies Giaquinto's skill in conveying dramatic narratives, as well as his mastery of the Rococo style, which was marked by ornate elegance and a lightness of touch.

The painting is notable for its expressive figures and the dramatic use of light and shadow, which serve to enhance the theatricality of the scene. The composition is carefully orchestrated to guide the viewer's eye towards the central action, where the serpent is raised high, drawing attention to the divine intervention taking place. Giaquinto's use of swirling draperies and agitated poses adds to the sense of urgency and movement within the painting.

As an important work by Giaquinto, "The Brazen Serpent" reflects the artist's religious convictions and his ability to translate complex theological themes into compelling visual narratives. The painting is a testament to the enduring power of religious art in the Baroque period and remains an important piece for the study of 18th-century Italian painting. It is held in high regard by art historians and is considered a valuable example of the cultural and artistic exchanges between Italy and Spain during the artist's lifetime.
