EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Destruction of Pharaohs Host" takes us back to biblical times and the dramatic events described in the Old Testament. The image depicts a pivotal moment from the story of Moses leading the Israelites across the Red Sea while being pursued by Pharaoh's army. The artist, part of the English School in the 19th century, skillfully captures both chaos and awe in this scene. The vibrant colours used in this hand-coloured Victorian style engraving add depth and intensity to an already powerful narrative. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn to Moses standing at the forefront with his staff raised high as he commands nature itself. Behind him, a tumultuous sea looms large, its waves crashing down on chariots and horses that belong to Pharaoh's host. The destruction is imminent; there is no escape for those who dared challenge divine intervention. This artwork not only showcases technical prowess but also serves as a reminder of faith triumphing over adversity. It invites us to reflect on themes such as liberation, redemption, and human resilience found within religious texts like Exodus. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving continues to inspire viewers with its vivid portrayal of one of history's most iconic moments – an event that has captivated imaginations for centuries.
