Painting of a small boat with sailors struggling in a stormy sea under a dark, cloudy sky, with a shaft of light on the waves.

The Storm on the Sea of Galilee

A wooden sailing boat is tossed by dark, churning waves beneath a stormy sky, its mast and tattered sails leaning sharply. Crew members clutch ropes and gather in the bow and stern, lit by a bright shaft of light breaking through the clouds.
