The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea

Titian

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a biblical scene. A large body of water with highly detailed wave patterns occupies most of the image. The waves are drawn in a detailed manner, with many lines. In the bottom third of the image, there are buildings and a cityscape with detailed architectural features. A large cylindrical tower-like building stands out among the structures. People are present but not clearly defined. The sky above the water is filled with lines suggesting movement. The overall composition portrays a dramatic event, likely the moment of submersion. The image is a print by Titian titled "The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea".
