The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea, from twelve blocks: 'Block A' showing the tower of the fortress, part of the town and furling banner
This print, made from twelve separate blocks, is Titian's largest woodcut design. The print, according ot Erica Tietze-Conrat, was listed in Benalio's' petition as "la submersione di pharaone." Therefore, it most likely dates to about 1515. This edition was published by Domenico dalle Greche in 1549 (Tietzes, "Titian's Woodcuts" p. 353).
