Christ at the Sea of Galilee
Circle of Jacopo Tintoretto (Probably Lambert Sustris)
c. 1570s
Christ at the Sea of Galilee is an oil painting by Jacopo Tintoretto, from the 1570s. The painting depicts Jesus Christ raises a hand toward the apostles, who appear in a boat amid hostile waves at sea. It is an example of mannerism, a European art style that exaggerates proportion and favors compositional tension. This can be seen in the expressive postures of the figures and the muted, yet intense color of the sea and sky.
