Painting Description
"Moses and the Brazen Serpent" is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, created in 1638 during his mature period. The painting, which measures 147 cm by 197 cm, is part of the collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. This work of art depicts a scene from the Old Testament, specifically from the Book of Numbers (21:4–9), where the Israelites, punished by God with a plague of venomous serpents for their lack of faith, are saved through the intercession of Moses. God instructs Moses to create a serpent of brass and set it upon a pole so that those who look upon it would be healed of their snakebites.
In "Moses and the Brazen Serpent," Poussin showcases his mastery of classical composition and his ability to convey complex narratives through painting. The scene is carefully constructed with a strong use of perspective, guiding the viewer's eye to the central figure of Moses, who stands commanding and serene amidst the chaos of the suffering Israelites. The brazen serpent is prominently displayed, coiled around a pole, symbolizing both divine wrath and mercy. Poussin's use of color, light, and shadow enhances the drama of the moment and reflects the emotional intensity of the biblical story.
The painting is a prime example of Poussin's intellectual approach to art and his dedication to the principles of order, clarity, and harmony. It is also indicative of the influence of classical antiquity on his work, as seen in the idealized figures and architectural elements that echo ancient Roman art. "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" is celebrated for its historical and religious significance, as well as its contribution to the development of French Baroque painting. It remains an important work for scholars studying Poussin's oeuvre and the broader context of 17th-century European art.
