The painting titled 'The Israelites pass the Red Sea, however the first chariots of the Egyptian army are drowned (Exodus, XIV, 19-28)' exemplifies a dramatic Religious painting. Its vivid composition captures the miraculous moment when the Israelites, led by divine intervention, cross the Red Sea as the Egyptian chariots are overwhelmed by the rising waters. With a style reminiscent of Naïve art (primitivism), the scene emphasizes bold colors and simplified forms. Created likely on paper or through etching, the artwork combines spiritual significance with an accessible, primitive aesthetic.
