The Crossing of the Red Sea is a significant of art by Frans II Francken, a notable Flemish painter primarily active at the end of the 16th and the first half of the 17th centuries. This artwork was executed in oil paint on panel and features the biblical event of the Israelites' miraculous escape from Egypt.

Falling under the wider umbrella of historical and biblical-themed works which were popular in Francken’s time, The Crossing of the Red Sea is a crystallization of his mature style. It showcases Francken's unique talent for smaller-scale compositions and his ability to incorporate an immense amount of detail into his depictions, from the multitude of Israelites to the richly detailed landscape backdrop.

Traditionally, the painting is interpreted as a visual representation of the Old Testament story found in the Book of Exodus, where Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and crossed the Red Sea, a task thought impossible. The exact moment Francken chose to depict is when the Red Sea was divided and the Israelites were beginning to cross, while the pursuing Egyptian army is held at bay.

Francken was known for his complex compositions and minute detailing, and The Crossing of the Red Sea unites these traits in a dramatic and visually engaging manner. Each figure is uniquely rendered, offering a rich and diverse tableau of human responses to the event. The artwork effectively showcases Francken's mastery of narrative scenes and his innovative approach to composition.

While the artwork is deeply rooted in its religious and historical context, it engages viewers with its levels of detail and invites them to explore the narrative that it unfolds. In making the biblical story more accessible through the medium of art, Francken thereby strengthened his reputation as one of the premier painters of his era.
