Vernietiging van het Egyptische leger in de Rode Zee 1570 - 1623

This 17th-century engraving by Italian artist Andrea Andreani depicts the biblical story of the destruction of the Egyptian army in the Red Sea. The dramatic scene showcases the drowning of Pharaoh's soldiers and horses as they flee Moses and the Israelites. Andreani's meticulous detail captures the chaos and terror of the event, with swirling waves and the anguished figures of the drowning men. This impressive artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Andreani's skill in reproducing a chiaroscuro woodcut by the renowned Italian artist, Agostino Veneziano.
