Christ Stilling the Storm

About this work

This engraving shows a group of people in a boat during a storm. One person in the center stands up, arms outstretched, while others clutch each other or the boat. The waves crash around them, and a distant city sits on the horizon. The artist used lots of lines to create shadows and texture, especially in the clothing and water. The scene looks like a moment of panic turning into calm. The standing figure might be trying to stop the storm, but the exact story isn’t clear from the image alone.
