EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Eugène Delacroix's masterpiece, "Christ Asleep Tempest". Painted in 1853, this oil on canvas piece measures 20 x 24 inches (508 x 61 cm) and is a prominent example of the artist's later works. Delacroix, a French painter born in Charenton-Saint-Maurice in 1798, was renowned for his ability to depict intense emotions and dramatic scenes. In this painting, he portrays a powerful New Testament lesson about faith. The artwork depicts Christ peacefully asleep amidst a raging tempest at sea. The terrified disciples surround him as they awaken him from his slumber. Their fear is palpable as they scold themselves for their lack of trust in divine providence. Delacroix expertly captures the chaotic nature of the stormy seascape while emphasizing Christ's calm presence within it. The figure of Christ occupies a significant place within the composition, symbolizing hope and salvation even amidst turmoil. "Christ Asleep Tempest" is one of six versions painted by Delacroix throughout his career. It serves as an important testament to his artistic evolution and mastery over capturing human emotion through brushstrokes. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Delacroix's skillful technique and profound storytelling abilities from the comfort of their own homes or galleries alike.
