Theodoor Galle's 1611 print "Heilige Dominicus stilt een storm door middel van het gebed" (Saint Dominic Calms the Storm through Prayer) depicts the holy figure kneeling on a beach, raising his hands in prayer while a storm rages above him. The image is a dramatic portrayal of Dominic's power over the elements. The stormy seas and shipwreck in the foreground serve as a visual metaphor for the perilous state of the world. This print is an example of the genre of devotional imagery common in 17th-century Europe, and it would have been used as a tool for spiritual reflection and devotion. The high contrast and detailed lines of the engraving are characteristic of the period's style. The print is currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
