EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" a masterpiece created by Corrado Giaquinto in 1743-1744. The artwork, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, measures 12 15/16 x 17 5/8 inches (32.86 x 44.77 cm) for the image and 14 7/16 x 20 3/16 inches (36.67 x 51.28 cm) for the sheet. Giaquinto's painting depicts a powerful biblical scene from the Book of Numbers where Moses saves his people from a plague of venomous snakes sent as punishment by God. In this dramatic composition, Moses holds up a bronze serpent on a pole to heal those who have been bitten by snakes simply by gazing upon it. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and desperation of this moment through vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes that bring life to every detail. The figures' expressions reflect their pain, fear, and hope as they look towards Moses' miraculous solution. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Giaquinto's exceptional talent while also providing an opportunity for reflection on themes such as faith, redemption, and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal quest for salvation amidst adversity. As part of the Joseph F. McCrindle Collection gifted to the museum, this work continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message and artistic brilliance despite being out
