Moses at left with the Israelites who gather manna as it falls from the sky, two angels above, after Reni 1776

Benedetto Eredi's 1776 etching "Moses at left with the Israelites who gather manna as it falls from the sky, two angels above, after Reni" is a beautiful depiction of the biblical story of the manna falling from heaven. The scene shows Moses standing on a rocky outcrop with his hand outstretched, with a crowd of Israelites below collecting the falling manna. The two angels above are a reminder of God's presence and intervention, symbolizing divine guidance and protection. The dramatic composition and detailed figures are reminiscent of Guido Reni's work, the artist after whom this etching is named. This print is a good example of the tradition of biblical narratives in art, showcasing the continuing relevance of religious themes in the 18th century. The print is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
