๐จ Christ on the Sea of Galilee, 1841

oil on canvas, 45.7 x 54.6 cm

About the artwork:
"Christ on the Sea of Galilee" depicts a biblical scene from the New Testament, where Jesus calms the storm on the sea, a powerful narrative that showcases his divine powers and his role as a protector and savior. This subject is rich in dramatic potential and is reflective of Delacroix's interest in themes of human struggle, faith, and divine intervention.
In this painting, Delacroix would have portrayed the turbulent waters of the Sea of Galilee with his typical vibrancy, using dynamic, sweeping brushstrokes to capture the motion of the waves and the dramatic sky. The figures of Christ and his disciples might be depicted struggling against the storm, with Christ himself being a calm, stabilizing presence amidst the chaos. 1 reply
