CHILDREN OF ISRAEL CROSSING THE RED SEA
The Children of Israel Crossing the Red Sea | Art UK
The painting shows the Israelites who have reached safety after fleeing captivity in Egypt and miraculously crossing the Red Sea. Moses, who dominates the composition, extends his rod against the Egyptians who are engulfed far below. To the right, the reprieved Israelites, their children and animals, form an idealised chaos.
