Image description

This panel shows an episode from the Old Testament in which the Israelites are punished with a plague of poisonous snakes. Moses points to a brass serpent arranged on a cross in the centre of the composition. Those that gaze on it are miraculously restored to health.\n\nRubens painted this work shortly after returning from Italy, where he was influenced by the work of Michelangelo, evident here in his depiction of the human body.
