Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee is a 1633 oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Rembrandt van Rijn. A history painting, it ranks among the largest and earliest of Rembrandt's works. It vividly portrays the biblical miracle in which Jesus calmed the storm on the Sea of Galilee. It is Rembrandt's only known seascape. Purchased in 1898, the painting was displayed at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston until its theft in 1990; its whereabouts remain unknown.
