Painting Description
"Aufrichtung der ehernen Schlange" (The Erection of the Brazen Serpent) is a renowned painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1635-1640. This work of art is a vivid depiction of a biblical episode from the Book of Numbers (21:4-9), where Moses, following God's instructions, erects a serpent of brass to heal the Israelites who had been bitten by venomous serpents in the wilderness.
Rubens, known for his dynamic compositions, mastery of color, and ability to convey movement and emotion, brings this dramatic scene to life with his characteristic vigor and expressiveness. The painting is a striking example of his expertise in illustrating religious narratives with a sense of immediacy and theatricality that engages the viewer.
The canvas showcases a chaotic scene filled with figures in various states of distress, their bodies contorted in agony from the serpent bites. At the center, Moses stands as a beacon of hope, lifting the bronze serpent on a pole, as the afflicted look upon it to be cured. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, highlights the central action and guides the viewer's eye through the composition.
"Aufrichtung der ehernen Schlange" is a testament to Rubens' ability to fuse the physical and spiritual realms in his work, creating a powerful visual interpretation of divine intervention and salvation. The painting is held in high regard for its artistry and is considered an important piece within Rubens' oeuvre, reflecting his deep understanding of human emotion and the Baroque style's emphasis on drama and intensity.
