The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea

Titian

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea by Titian: A chaotic scene depicting a large group of people, mostly men in military attire, some on horseback, others on foot, struggling in turbulent water. Many are armed with spears and swords. Some are falling or already submerged. A large flag is visible. The men wear helmets and armor. The background shows wavy lines suggesting a body of water and a cloudy sky. The style is detailed with heavy use of lines. The composition is dense with figures overlapping. The color scheme appears to be sepia tones.
