Hendrick De Clerck, born in Brussels in 1560 and active until his death in 1630, was a prominent painter of religious and mythological scenes. His style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and the incorporation of Mannerist influences, which was a prevalent style in the late Renaissance period. De Clerck often collaborated with other artists, such as Jan Brueghel the Elder, contributing figures to landscapes and still life compositions.

The work is notable for its depiction of light and texture, which gives the manna a celestial quality, contrasting with the earthly struggle of the people.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced during De Clerck's mature period, when his artistic abilities were at their peak. The painting is an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on religious themes intended to inspire devotion and adherence to the Catholic faith.
