Christus en zijn leerlingen in de storm op het meer van Galilea 1583

"Christus en zijn leerlingen in de storm op het meer van Galilea," created in 1583 by Flemish artist Abraham de Bruyn, depicts a scene from the New Testament, where Jesus calms a storm on the Sea of Galilee. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases de Bruyn's mastery of detail and his ability to portray the dramatic tension of the scene, with Jesus standing on the water and reaching out to calm a frightened disciple. The stormy waves and the terrified expressions of the disciples in the boat contrast starkly with Jesus's serene calm, reinforcing the miracle. This is one of de Bruyn's most iconic works, showcasing his ability to capture biblical scenes with dynamism and emotional depth.
