"The Scourge of the Serpents (detail) 1732-35" is a notable work by the Italian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, an artist renowned for his grandiose and vibrant frescoes that adorned the walls and ceilings of many palaces and churches throughout Italy and Europe. Created during the period of 1732 to 1735, this artwork is part of a larger series of frescoes that depict various scenes from the Old Testament, specifically the Book of Numbers, and is located in the Church of Santa Maria del Rosario (Gesuati) in Venice, Italy.

The fresco captures the dramatic episode of the punishment of the Israelites through a plague of serpents, as described in Numbers 21:6-9, and the subsequent divine intervention through the bronze serpent raised by Moses. Tiepolo's mastery of color and light is evident in this detail, which showcases his ability to convey complex narratives with emotional depth and dynamism. The scene is characterized by a flurry of activity, with figures contorted in agony and fear, their expressions and gestures reflecting the terror of the serpents' scourge.

Tiepolo's work is celebrated for its theatricality and the use of perspective, which draws the viewer into the unfolding biblical story. The "Scourge of the Serpents" is a prime example of the artist's skill in creating a sense of movement and space, making the celestial feel tangible and the miraculous seem plausible. This fresco, along with the others in the series, represents the height of Tiepolo's artistic achievements and contributes to his reputation as one of the leading figures of the Rococo movement.

As a significant piece of 18th-century religious art, "The Scourge of the Serpents (detail)" not only exemplifies Tiepolo's artistic prowess but also serves as a cultural artifact that reflects the religious and aesthetic values of the time. It remains an important work for scholars studying the period, the artist, and the broader context of European art history.
