More about this artwork

Masterfully painted by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg in 1815, this artwork displays a dramatic and monumental moment from the biblical Exodus narrative. The scene unfurls with vivid clarity as Moses, depicted in flowing white and pink robes, dramatically extends his arm, commanding the Red Sea to return to its place, thus engulfing Pharaoh's pursuing army.The composition is rich with emotional depth and detail. On the left, contrasting the celestial tranquility of Moses and his brother Aaron, the Israelites gather in a chaotic mixture of awe and relief. Their expressions and postures range from fear to exhaustion, encapsulating a spectrum of human emotion faced with divine intervention.Eckersberg's use of light and shadow, along with careful attention to the naturalistic landscape and the turbulent sky, enhances the scene's tense atmosphere. His portrayal not only captures the miraculous and catastrophic event but also reflects his classical training with fine details in the figures’ drapery and the animated expressions.This painting is not only a stunning depiction of a pivotal biblical moment but also serves as a testament to Eckersberg’s skill in merging historical storytelling with artistic excellence.
