Christus in de storm op het Meer van Galilea 1760

"Christus in de storm op het Meer van Galilea" is an etching by Irish artist Charles Exshaw, created in 1760. The piece depicts a scene from the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus calms a storm on the Sea of Galilee. Exshaw uses deep shadows and dramatic lines to depict the turmoil of the storm, contrasting them with the calm figure of Jesus in the center of the composition. This scene has been a popular subject for artists throughout history, with Rembrandt, J.M.W. Turner, and Gustave Courbet all creating their own interpretations. Exshaw's etching, though not as well-known as those other works, offers a fascinating and detailed glimpse into the depiction of this biblical story in the 18th century.
