"The Brazen Serpent" is a notable painting by Frans Floris, a Flemish Renaissance painter who was active in the 16th century. This work is an example of Floris's skill in combining the grandeur of Italian Renaissance art with Northern European traditions, reflecting the complex interplay of religious and mythological themes prevalent during the period.

The painting depicts the biblical episode from the Book of Numbers (21:4–9), where Moses, following God's instructions, creates a bronze serpent on a pole to cure the Israelites who had been bitten by venomous snakes in the desert. Those who looked upon the bronze serpent were healed, prefiguring the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, as interpreted in Christian theology.

Frans Floris's interpretation of "The Brazen Serpent" is characterized by its dynamic composition, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the vivid emotional expressions of the figures. The work showcases Floris's ability to convey movement and tension, as the writhing bodies of the afflicted Israelites contrast with the serene figure of Moses and the symbolic serpent lifted high.

The painting is significant for its artistic and iconographic content, providing insight into the religious sensibilities and the artistic milieu of the 16th century. It is a testament to Floris's reputation as one of the leading Antwerp Mannerists, an influential group of artists who were known for their elaborate style and complex allegories.

As a historical artifact, "The Brazen Serpent" also offers a window into the cultural and spiritual life of the time, illustrating the blend of biblical narrative with the humanistic and naturalistic details that were hallmarks of the Renaissance period. The work remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Frans Floris and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of European art history.
