"Mozes en de koperen slang" is a woodcut print created by an anonymous artist in the Netherlands between 1530 and 1533. The print depicts a scene from the Bible, where Moses raises a bronze serpent on a pole to heal the Israelites who were bitten by poisonous snakes. This print was likely part of a larger series of illustrations for a Bible, and serves as a visual representation of the story's powerful symbolism. The woodcut, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the skilled craftsmanship of the artist with its detailed figures and intricate background. It is a valuable example of early 16th-century Dutch printmaking.
