The Story Behind the Painting

1886-1894
Watercolor wash over graphite on off-white wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.

While crossing the Sea of Galilee in a ship during the night, Jesus and his disciples are overtaken by a storm. Tissot omits any sign of landfall, heightening the sense of danger in the rough, stormy sea. Awakened by his followers, who fear for their lives, Jesus quiets the tempest with a dramatic and dynamic gesture and rebukes his companions for their lack of faith.

Tissot's commentary connects this shipboard miracle with the miraculous draught of fishes, noting: "It was in the same boat, which then symbolized the Church, that Our Lord stilled the tempest and reassured the disciples, who typified redeemed mankind."

As entryway wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other refined wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Materials matter for refined wall decor. That is why this piece is built on artist-grade canvas with lightfast oil colors, applied by hand rather than output from a printer, and sealed for long-term display.
