Which Rembrandt painting is also known as The Storm on the Sea of Galilee?

Rembrandt’s painting also known as The Storm on the Sea of Galilee is Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee.

Rembrandt painted this dramatic seascape in 1633, shortly after moving from Leiden to Amsterdam. It illustrates a Gospel episode in which Jesus and his disciples are caught in a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee. The boat pitches sharply, while the disciples struggle with the sail and ropes and appeal to Christ for help.

The work is especially notable because it is Rembrandt’s only known seascape. His use of strong contrasts between dark clouds, bright water, and frightened figures creates an unusually immediate sense of danger. Rembrandt also included himself among the passengers, making the scene partly a self-portrait as well as a biblical narrative.

The painting belonged to Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum until it was stolen in 1990, along with twelve other works. It remains missing, and the theft is one of the most famous unsolved art crimes.
