Doortocht door de Rode Zee 1548 - 1570

This 16th-century engraving titled "Doortocht door de Rode Zee" depicts the biblical event of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. Created by an anonymous artist, the artwork captures the drama of this event with detailed figures in various poses. The Israelites are shown standing on dry land, while the pursuing Egyptian army is seen being swallowed by the sea in the background. The print is an example of a popular biblical scene often portrayed in art during this period. It's a small yet impactful piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the artist's skill in depicting the dramatic narrative of the story.
