Christ on the Sea of Galilee
1750
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This black-and-white photo shows a stormy sea with waves crashing. In the middle, a boat rocks wildly while people inside look scared. Dark clouds fill the sky, and the water churns around the vessel. The boat’s struggle looks real—waves crash over the sides. This style uses strong light and shadow to create drama. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and dark this way.
