Exodus Painting, five elements from a painted hanging depicting the Crossing of the Red Sea, A.D. mid-2nd–mid-4th century, Byzantine, Paint and indigo-dyed linen, Framed (Montage of the 5 fragments): 24 5/8 × 55 1/2 × 2 3/8 in. (62.5 × 141 × 6 cm), Paintings, These five evocative paintings most compellingly evoke the moment when the traditional painting styles and themes of the Late Antique, Greco-Roman world expand to include Judeo-Christian themes. The realistically evoked bodies and expressive faces suggest Roman narratives that survive only in contemporary descriptions and on sarcophagi that have long lost their richly painted surfaces
