The Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt van Rijn, 1633

This is a reproduction of “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee” of 1633 by Rembrandt van Rijn. This is Rembrandt’s only seascape and depicts the incident recorded in the fourth chapter of the Gospel according to Mark generally known as the miracle of "Christ calming the Sea". There are fourteen people in the boat: Christ, the twelve disciples and perhaps Rembrandt himself. Many believe that the person looking out of the painting is actually a self-portrait of Rembrandt. This painting was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum of Boston on the morning of March 18, 1990.
