St Nicholas of Bari banishing the Storm is a 1434 unspecified by Bicci di Lorenzo, a Early Renaissance work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting depicts a dramatic scene with a large ship in the center, its sails billowing in the wind. A figure in black stands at the bow, while others are visible inside the ship. In the sky above, a winged figure with a halo is shown, surrounded by stars. The background features a dark landscape with hills and a body of water. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the ship and its occupants, as well as the serene expression of the winged figure. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Bicci di Lorenzo.
Bicci di Lorenzo (1373–1452) was an Italian painter and sculptor, active in Florence.
