EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Moses and the Copper Snake" transports us back to biblical times, capturing a pivotal moment of salvation. In the center of the image stands a magnificent copper snake mounted on a stake, symbolizing hope and healing. To the left, we see Moses himself, his wise and compassionate presence emanating strength. Surrounding the copper snake are men, women, and children who have fallen victim to poisonous snakes. Their desperate gazes fixate upon this miraculous serpent as their only chance for survival. The intensity in their eyes reflects both fear and faith. On the right side of the scene lies the bustling tent camp of the Israelites; a reminder that this divine intervention occurred during their arduous journey through wilderness. The title of this print is presented in Hebrew, English, German, Latin, French, and Dutch languages - emphasizing its universal significance across cultures throughout history. Drawing inspiration from Numbers 21:6-9 in scripture where anyone bitten by a snake is cured by looking at a brazen serpent. Cornelis Huyberts skillfully etched this masterpiece between 1720-1728 in Amsterdam onto paper with remarkable precision. The depiction often showcases either a serpent or dragon on a tau-shaped cross or pillar - an iconic representation known for its curative powers against venomous bites. This extraordinary artwork from Liszt Collection serves as an enduring testament to humanity's unwavering belief in miracles amidst adversity – reminding us that sometimes salvation comes from unexpected sources.
