EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Francken, Frans II the Younger. The artwork, measuring 60.5x105 cm, can be found at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. This Flemish masterpiece depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Exodus. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary phenomenon as Moses leads his people to escape from their Egyptian oppressors.

The canvas portrays a miraculous event - the parting of the sea itself.

Francken skillfully captures both grandeur and intimacy in this powerful composition.
