"Moses and the Brazen Serpent" (1653–54) is a significant oil on canvas painting by the French artist Sébastien Bourdon, who was one of the founding members of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. The painting depicts a scene from the Old Testament (Numbers 21:4–9), where Moses, following God's command, creates a bronze serpent on a pole to cure the Israelites of snake bites. This biblical episode has been interpreted as a prefiguration of the crucifixion of Jesus, with the serpent symbolizing sin and the pole the cross, offering salvation to those who look upon it.

Bourdon, known for his eclectic style and ability to adapt to various genres, brings a Baroque sensibility to this work, emphasizing dramatic lighting and dynamic composition. The painting showcases his skill in handling complex narratives, arranging numerous figures to convey the chaos and suffering of the plague-stricken Israelites, while also directing the viewer's attention to the central act of salvation through Moses and the brazen serpent.

The work is notable for its expressive figures, theatrical use of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity that characterizes Bourdon's religious scenes. "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" reflects the influence of both the classical art Bourdon encountered during his time in Rome and the naturalism that was a hallmark of 17th-century French painting.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. It remains an important example of Bourdon's oeuvre and a testament to the religious and artistic sensibilities of the Baroque period.
