The Crossing of the Red Sea
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers back to the medieval era. Created by Hans Schilling, or a follower of his, in 1469, this artwork showcases intricate details and vibrant colors through ink, color washes, and tempera on paper. The scene depicted in the image is inspired by "Baarlem and Josaphat" a popular Christianized version of the Buddha story. Barlaam narrates the crossing of the Red Sea to Josaphat to showcase God's immense power. As Moses and his followers pass through parted waters, Egyptian soldiers are engulfed by its mighty force. Schilling's artistic talent shines through as he captures every element with precision. The manuscript-style illumination adds an ethereal touch to this religious legend from biblical times. Measuring 28.6x20.3 cm, this piece can be found at J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Notably, Schilling worked for bookseller Dieboldt Lauber in Hagenau, Alsace - an association that likely influenced his style and technique. "The Crossing of the Red Sea" serves as a testament to both Christianity and Buddhism within medieval culture. It beautifully intertwines elements from these two religions: Moses leading his people across treacherous waters mirrors Gautama Buddha's journey towards enlightenment. This print invites us into a world where religion meets artistry - where stories come alive through illuminated manuscripts like this one created by talented artists such as Hans Sch
