"Storm op het Meer van Galilea" (Storm on the Sea of Galilee) is a 1705-1728 etching by Dutch artist Matthijs Pool (1676-1740). The artwork depicts the biblical story of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee, showcasing his power over nature. The scene captures the chaos and fear of the storm, with the disciples struggling in the boat, while Christ stands calmly. This etching is a testament to Pool's skill in representing both the dramatic natural world and the emotional turmoil of the characters. This work is now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
