EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print, titled "Moses and the Brazen Serpent" by Luigi Ademollo, offers a mesmerizing depiction of a biblical scene from the Old Testament. The Italian artist, Luigi Ademollo, masterfully brought this story to life through his intricate use of pen and black ink with black wash and white gouache on wove paper. The scene portrays the moment when God instructs Moses to create a bronze serpent and place it on a pole as a remedy for the Israelites bitten by venomous snakes during their journey in the wilderness. The illustration captures the intense emotion and anticipation of the crowd as they eagerly await the healing power of the serpent. The figures in the print are richly detailed, with Moses standing tall and authoritative, and the crowd of men, women, and children gathered below, their faces etched with fear and hope. The contrast between the black and white tones adds depth and texture to the image, while the use of gouache highlights the intricacies of the serpent's scales and the folds of the figures' clothing. This print is a testament to the enduring power of art to preserve and convey the stories and traditions of our cultural heritage. It is a must-see for anyone interested in religion, history, or the artistic masterpieces of the 18th and 19th centuries. Originally from Italy, this print is now part of the prestigious collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
