Christus slaapt aan boord van het schip tijdens de storm 1663 - 1674

"Christus slaapt aan boord van het schip tijdens de storm" (Christ Sleeps Aboard the Ship During the Storm) is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Jan van Ossenbeeck. The artwork depicts a scene from the Bible in which Jesus Christ sleeps soundly while his disciples struggle to navigate a turbulent sea. The detailed depiction of the storm-tossed ship and the frantic figures of the disciples emphasizes the contrast between the chaos of the natural world and the calm of Christ's presence. This etching, created between 1663 and 1674, showcases Ossenbeeck's mastery of light and shadow and his ability to convey dramatic tension.
