"Le serpent d'Airain" (The Brazen Serpent) is a notable work by the Italian Rococo artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, created in 1730. Tiepolo, renowned for his grandiose and dynamic compositions, was a master of fresco painting and a significant figure in 18th-century Venetian art. This painting, executed in oil on canvas, exemplifies Tiepolo's skill in combining dramatic narrative with a vivid, luminous palette.

The subject of "Le serpent d'Airain" is derived from the Old Testament story in the Book of Numbers (21:4-9), where the Israelites, during their exodus from Egypt, complain against God and Moses. As a punishment, God sends venomous serpents among them, causing many to die. Upon the people's repentance, God instructs Moses to make a bronze serpent and set it on a pole; those who look upon it are healed. Tiepolo captures this moment of divine intervention with a dynamic composition that emphasizes the drama and desperation of the scene.

In the painting, Tiepolo employs his characteristic use of light and shadow to create a sense of movement and urgency. The figures are arranged in a swirling, almost chaotic manner, reflecting the panic and suffering of the afflicted Israelites. The central figure of Moses, holding the bronze serpent aloft, is bathed in a celestial light, symbolizing divine grace and salvation. The contrast between the dark, tumultuous foreground and the serene, illuminated figure of Moses underscores the painting's spiritual message.

Tiepolo's "Le serpent d'Airain" is celebrated for its emotional intensity and technical brilliance. The artist's ability to convey complex theological themes through expressive figures and dynamic compositions has earned this work a prominent place in the canon of religious art. Today, it remains a testament to Tiepolo's mastery and his contribution to the visual culture of the Rococo period.
