"The Crossing of the Red Sea" is a 1555 fresco by Agnolo Bronzino, located in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. The painting depicts the biblical story of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, led by Moses, as the Egyptian army is destroyed by the parting waters. The scene is rendered with dramatic realism, with the figures of Moses and the Israelites shown in an emotionally charged moment of triumph. Bronzino’s work displays the Mannerist style with elongated proportions and poses, as well as a focus on compositional intricacy and expressive gesture.
