EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Drowning of the army of Pharaoh in the waters of the Red Sea" depicts a pivotal moment from Exodus 14 in the Old Testament. Created by an unidentified European School artist in the 17th century, this print showcases a dramatic biblical event with intricate detail. The scene unfolds as Moses leads his people across the parted Red Sea while Pharaoh's army pursues them. The waves crash down upon Pharaoh's troops, engulfing them in a watery grave. The artist skillfully captures their desperate struggle against nature's wrath, conveying both chaos and impending doom. The engraving is part of an enigmatic series of Bible prints published by Pierre Mariette in Paris during that era. Its inclusion among these religious illustrations highlights its significance within Christian iconography. As we gaze at this historical artwork, we are transported back to ancient Egypt and witness a divine intervention that secured freedom for God's chosen people. It serves as a powerful reminder of faith triumphing over adversity and symbolizes hope amidst seemingly insurmountable challenges. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this remarkable piece, allowing us to appreciate its artistic merit while immersing ourselves in one of humanity's most enduring stories.
