Painting Description
"Moses and the Brazen Serpent" is a 14th-century Italian fresco attributed to the Sienese painter Bartolo di Fredi, also known as Manfredi de Battilor. Created between 1356 and 1367, this artwork is a significant example of Gothic art from the period and reflects the religious and artistic sensibilities of the time. The fresco depicts the biblical episode from the Book of Numbers (21:4–9), where Moses, following God's instructions, erects a serpent of brass to cure the Israelites of snakebites. This scene has been interpreted as a prefiguration of the crucifixion of Jesus, with the serpent symbolizing sin and the cross representing salvation.
Bartolo di Fredi, whose full name was Manfredino d'Alberto, was an influential artist of the Sienese School, known for his narrative skill and attention to detail. His work on "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" showcases his ability to convey complex theological ideas through vivid imagery and composition. The fresco is characterized by its dynamic figures, expressive faces, and the use of color and light to enhance the drama of the scene.
The fresco is part of a larger decorative program that once adorned the walls of a religious institution, likely a church or chapel, in Siena. Over the centuries, the fresco has been subject to the vicissitudes of time, including possible damage, restoration, and relocation. Today, it stands as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Sienese School and provides valuable insight into the devotional practices and visual culture of 14th-century Italy.
As an important work of Bartolo di Fredi, "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" continues to be studied by art historians and scholars for its stylistic features, iconography, and place within the broader context of Italian Gothic art. The fresco's enduring legacy is reflected in its influence on subsequent generations of artists and its role in the development of religious art in Europe.
