The Storm on the Sea of Galilee

History, Religious and Mythological Paintings

The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, formally titled Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee, is a 1633 oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Rembrandt van Rijn. Classed as a history painting, it ranks among the largest and earliest works of Rembrandt's career and is his only known seascape. It vividly depicts the biblical miracle in which Jesus calms a storm threatening the boat carrying him and his disciples on the Sea of Galilee, capturing the violent motion of the waves against the calm figure of Christ.
