Christus in de schuit 1898

"Christus in de Schuit" (Christ in the Boat) is an etching created by Belgian artist James Ensor in 1898. The print depicts a scene from the biblical story of Jesus calming the storm, where he appears in a boat with his disciples during a tempestuous sea. Ensor’s expressive linework and dramatic use of light and shadow create a sense of unease and wonder, characteristic of his late 19th-century style. The piece is considered a key example of Ensor’s artistic output, which was influenced by both Symbolism and Expressionism.
