Rembrandt’s virtuoso command of shadow and light imparts high drama and depth to this scene of Jesus and his disciples fighting roiling waters in “Storm on the Sea of Galilee.” This work, the only seascape by Rembrandt (1606 – 1669), was created during the last two decades of his life, when he utilized a rich palette and bold brushstrokes to depict historical and religious themes through a subtle play of shadow and light that brought the people he painted to life. Referred to as the Shakespeare of painting, Rembrandt was remarkably gifted in his ability to compassionately explore personality and movingly depict dramatic moments.
