It is interesting that each plague was directed at one of the Egyptian gods.
The Nile renewed the fertility of the soil at each yearly flood, turning to blood defeated that god.
Some gods were worshiped to keep things from happening. The locust, frogs, for example. Those gods were to keep locusts and frogs out of Egypt.
Three days of darkness defeated the sun and moon gods.
The ultimate god, Pharaoh, was defeated when he could not save his firstborn son and later when he was drowned.
Great depictions.
Can’t be easy to paint all those frogs..
