Moses Turning Aaron's Staff into a Serpent

The artwork Moses Turning Aaron's Staff into a Serpent is a painting, created between 1640 and 1650. It is currently held at Room 826 and measures 1.28 meters in width and 0.92 meters in height. The artwork is by an unknown author.

The painting depicts a scene from the Bible, where Moses and Aaron are demonstrating God's power to the Pharaoh of Egypt. In the center, a man presumed to be Moses, stands in a white robe, holding a staff that transforms into a serpent on the floor. Aaron, dressed in yellow and red, stands behind him. To the right, a group of men, likely representing Pharaoh and his court, react with a mix of awe and fear towards the serpent. The setting appears to be a grand hall, suggested by the arches and drapery. The warm, earthy tones and dramatic lighting contribute to the painting's sense of drama and spirituality.
