"The Destruction of Pharaoh's Host" is a monumental painting by the British artist John Martin, renowned for his dramatic and apocalyptic landscapes. Created in 1825, this work is part of Martin's exploration of biblical themes through a lens that combines sublime landscapes with intense human drama. The painting depicts the biblical story of the Exodus, specifically the moment when the Red Sea closes over the Egyptian army following the Israelites' escape, as narrated in the Book of Exodus. Martin's portrayal is characterized by its grand scale, dramatic use of light and shadow, and meticulous attention to detail, all of which serve to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene.

John Martin (1789–1854) was an English Romantic painter, engraver, and illustrator, whose work is distinguished by its epic scale and its incorporation of dramatic landscapes to enhance the narrative and emotional impact of the scenes depicted. "The Destruction of Pharaoh's Host" is emblematic of Martin's style, showcasing his ability to fuse natural phenomena with human history to create scenes of awe-inspiring power and majesty. The painting reflects Martin's fascination with the sublime and the catastrophic, themes that recur throughout his oeuvre and align him with the broader Romantic interest in nature's beauty and terror.

"The Destruction of Pharaoh's Host" has been celebrated for its innovative composition and its influence on the development of the sublime in art. The painting's dramatic depiction of light, its sophisticated use of color, and its dynamic portrayal of movement contribute to its enduring significance in the history of British art. It remains a key example of how 19th-century artists used biblical narratives to explore contemporary concerns and the human condition, making it a critical work for understanding the intersection of art, religion, and culture during the Romantic period.
