PHARAOH AND HIS ARMY ENGULFED BY THE RED SEA Frederick Arthur Bridgman oil on canvas 115 by 210cm., 45¼ by 82¾in. LOT SOLD. 51,650 GBP
The painting depicts the Biblical narrative in the Book of Exodus (14:28) of the Israelites led by Moses fleeing the Egyptians. After promising them freedom, the Pharaoh reneges on his word and chases after the Israelites as they escape through a waterway which had been parted by command of Moses' staff. As the Egyptian army follows the Israelites, the waters come crashing down upon them and drown the Pharaoh, his officers, and their horses.
