About this work

Artist: Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669)
Year: 1633
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 160 × 128 cm
Collection: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston (stolen in 1990; whereabouts unknown)
Movement: Dutch Golden Age

A fishing boat heels over on a great wave in a storm, its sail torn, as the disciples haul on ropes, bail, vomit over the side and wake the sleeping Christ, while a shaft of light breaks through the clouds at the upper left. Rembrandt painted the scene from the Gospel of Mark in Amsterdam in 1633, when he was twenty-seven and newly established in the city; it is his only seascape. One figure in a blue cap, clutching a rope and looking straight out at the viewer, is a self-portrait. Isabella Stewart Gardner bought the painting in 1898 for her museum in Boston. On the night of 18 March 1990 it was cut from its frame by thieves posing as police officers, together with twelve other works, and it has not been recovered; its empty frame still hangs in the Dutch Room.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is The Storm on the Sea of Galilee in the public domain?

Yes. Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was The Storm on the Sea of Galilee painted, and in what medium?

The Storm on the Sea of Galilee dates from 1633 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 160 × 128 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
