"The Crossing of the Red Sea" is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, completed around 1634. This masterpiece is a vivid depiction of the biblical episode from the Book of Exodus, in which Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt and through the parted waters of the Red Sea, escaping the pursuit of the Egyptian army. The painting is a testament to Poussin's mastery of classical composition and his ability to convey dramatic narrative through art.

Measuring 155.6 cm by 215.3 cm, the work is a prime example of Poussin's Baroque style, characterized by its dynamic movement, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity of the figures. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his profound understanding of human anatomy are evident in the realistic portrayal of the figures and their expressive gestures. The composition is carefully structured, guiding the viewer's eye across the canvas, from the chaos of the fleeing Israelites to the serene figure of Moses, who stands commanding the scene with an outstretched arm.

Poussin's color palette is restrained yet effective, with a harmonious blend of earthy tones and subtle contrasts that enhance the overall sense of depth and three-dimensionality. The painting's atmospheric perspective, with the Egyptian army engulfed in the tumultuous waters in the background, adds to the dramatic tension of the scene.

"The Crossing of the Red Sea" is not only a significant work in Poussin's oeuvre but also an important piece in the history of European art, reflecting the religious and cultural milieu of the 17th century. It is held in high regard for its successful fusion of classical ideals with the emotional and theatrical elements of the Baroque period. The painting is currently housed in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
