Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 17.4 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 19.8 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 33.9 × 27.2 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Rembrandt's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 161.7 × 129.8 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Rembrandt's "Storm on the Sea of Galilee" (1633) throws you right into a whirlwind of chaos and drama that gets your heart racing. The painting shows the biblical scene with a fierce unblinking intensity depicting Christ and his disciples caught in a wild storm. The tiny boat looks puny next to the massive threatening waves showing just how powerful nature is compared to weak humans.

The painting's layout is excellent, with the boat placed at an angle to create a lively feeling of motion and pressing need. The sails puff out and the ropes crack under pressure, while the people on the boat show clear fear and hopelessness. The artist has painted each disciple's face, from the man holding tight to the ropes to stay alive to another leaning over the edge looking like he's about to throw up. In a stark difference, Jesus stays peaceful in the middle of all the chaos standing as a sign of hope and godly calm.

Rembrandt's chiaroscuro, his trademark use of light and shadow stands out in this piece. Dark stormy clouds hang threateningly above, but a beam of light breaks through. This light shines on the main figures and draws your eye to Christ's peaceful face. This play of light doesn't just add to the drama – it also drives home the spiritual message about keeping faith when times are tough.

The painting's texture is diverse and complex. Thick energetic brushstrokes create the choppy wild sea, while softer more precise strokes shape the faces of the figures adding a touching human element. The overall colors are dark, with deep blues and greys dominating broken up by the warm earthy shades of the disciples' clothes. This color choice makes the painting even more emotionally powerful.

"Storm on the Sea of Galilee" shows off Rembrandt's amazing skills and his deep understanding of human nature. He captures a single unforgettable moment that mixes extreme fear with godly comfort.
