Vernietiging van het Egyptische leger in de Rode Zee 1645 - 1646

"Vernietiging van het Egyptische leger in de Rode Zee" (Destruction of the Egyptian Army in the Red Sea) is a 17th-century engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem. The detailed woodcut depicts the biblical story of the parting of the Red Sea and the drowning of the Egyptian army, as told in the Book of Exodus. The artwork shows Pharaoh's chariot sinking, with soldiers and horses struggling in the swirling water. It’s a powerful portrayal of the divine intervention and the fate of the Egyptian army. This small artwork, only 108 mm by 82 mm, is a compelling example of religious art and graphic design from the Dutch Golden Age.
