Christ in the Storm on the Sea of GalileeJan Brueghel

This oil on copper (1596) shows Christ asleep during a storm as an apostle wakes him amid violent waves on the Sea of Galilee. The heeling boat and twisted sail convey imminent peril, while the darkened sky dramatizes the disciples’ fear. Brueghel’s vivid rendering turns natural turbulence into a meditation on faith and divine control.
