1650
From the collection of Art Collection of the University Göttingen
Christus und die Jünger im Seesturm is a 1650 by Unknown, depicting wood, held at Art Collection of the University Göttingen.
This drawing shows a small boat fighting a stormy sea. The waves crash high around it, and the sky is dark with swirling clouds. Inside the boat, a few people—some standing, some kneeling—look tense and focused, gripping oars or leaning forward as if praying. The artist used quick, rough strokes to show the chaos of the water and wind. One person in the boat seems to be leading, pointing toward something in the distance. Look up *cross-hatching* next to see how artists build texture with lines.
