A monumental work by Anselm Kiefer, this piece combines oil paint, varnish, and photographic and paper collage on board to evoke the biblical miracle of Aaron's rod transforming into a serpent before Pharaoh. Kiefer's characteristically dense, layered surface creates a landscape of rugged, almost scorched materiality, where the boundaries between the organic and the supernatural feel collapsed. The work reflects the artist's enduring preoccupation with myth, mysticism, and the weight of historical and spiritual narratives.
