Painting Description
"Le Christ marchant sur la mer" (Christ Walking on the Waters) is a renowned 19th-century painting by French artist Charles François Jalabert. Completed in 1853, this work is an oil on canvas that depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Matthew (14:22-33), where Jesus is seen walking on the waters of the Sea of Galilee towards the boat of his disciples, who are caught in a storm. Jalabert's interpretation of this miracle is noted for its dramatic realism and emotional intensity, capturing the astonishment and fear of the disciples contrasted with the serene composure of Christ.
Jalabert, born in 1819 in Nîmes and trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, was a prominent figure in the academic art world of his time. His works are characterized by their meticulous detail, clarity of form, and adherence to classical themes and techniques. "Le Christ marchant sur la mer" is a prime example of Jalabert's skill in composition and his ability to convey narrative through visual art. The painting is also reflective of the mid-19th century religious and historical subject matter that was popular among European academicians.
The painting has been exhibited in several notable galleries and has garnered attention for its artistic merit and its portrayal of a pivotal New Testament event. It remains an important work within Jalabert's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its theological implications and its place within the broader context of French academic painting. The current location of the original painting, its dimensions, and its provenance are also of interest to art historians and collectors, contributing to the ongoing discussion and appreciation of Jalabert's artistic legacy.
