About the piece
Painted in 1695 by Ludolf Bakhuizen, this dramatic scene captures the biblical narrative of Christ calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee. The work is a prime example of Dutch Golden Age marine painting, characterized by its meticulous attention to the churning water and the play of light against a dark, threatening sky.
