About the piece

Painted in 1841 by Eugène Delacroix, this work captures the raw energy and drama of the Sea of Galilee. The artist's expressive brushwork and deep, moody palette emphasize the power of the natural world against the small vessel of figures, making it a quintessential example of French Romanticism.
