"Christ on the Lake of Gennezaret" is a sketch by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created around 1841. This work is a preliminary study for a larger painting, reflecting Delacroix's interest in religious themes and his mastery in capturing human emotion and dramatic natural settings. The sketch depicts the biblical story of Christ calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee, also known as Lake Gennesaret, as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

In this scene, Delacroix illustrates the moment when Jesus, after being woken by his disciples, rebukes the wind and the waves, bringing peace to the stormy waters. The composition is likely to be dynamic, with the figures of Christ and his disciples rendered with expressive brushwork, typical of Delacroix's sketches. The use of light and shadow would play a crucial role in conveying the divine intervention and the contrast between the chaos of the storm and the calm brought by Christ's presence.

Delacroix, renowned for his vivid color palette and emotional intensity, often explored historical and religious subjects, infusing them with a sense of immediacy and psychological depth. "Christ on the Lake of Gennezaret" exemplifies his skill in using quick, fluid strokes to lay down the foundational ideas for his compositions, which he would later develop into full-scale paintings.

As a sketch, this work provides insight into Delacroix's creative process, showcasing the artist's initial conception of the scene and his approach to organizing the elements within the composition. It is a testament to Delacroix's enduring fascination with the themes of faith, nature, and the human experience, as well as his ability to capture the sublime within the framework of biblical narratives.

The sketch is an important piece within Delacroix's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of the artist's work and the broader context of 19th-century French Romanticism. It remains a valuable artifact for both art historians and admirers of Delacroix, offering a glimpse into the artist's preparatory practices and his contemplation of the dramatic interplay between the divine and the natural world.
