"Christ with St. Peter and the Disciples on the Sea of Galilee" is a 16th-century oil painting by the Flemish artist Lucas Gassel. The painting depicts the biblical episode from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 14:22-33), in which Jesus walks on water towards his disciples who are on a boat on the Sea of Galilee. The scene captures the moment when Peter, at Jesus' invitation, steps out of the boat and begins to walk on water towards Christ, only to falter in his faith and start to sink.

Lucas Gassel, born in Helmond in the Duchy of Brabant around 1500 and active until his death in 1568/69, was known for his detailed landscapes and religious scenes. His works are characterized by their intricate detail and the use of landscape to frame and contextualize biblical and mythological narratives. "Christ with St. Peter and the Disciples on the Sea of Galilee" is a prime example of Gassel's skill in integrating these elements, with the dramatic event taking center stage amidst a panoramic view that includes other vignettes from the life of Christ and various maritime activities, reflecting the artist's interest in daily life and nature.

The painting is notable for its use of perspective and the careful rendering of the figures and the natural environment. Gassel's composition invites the viewer to contemplate not only the central miracle but also the surrounding world, which is filled with symbolic and allegorical references. The work is part of a body of Renaissance paintings that reflect the era's religious devotion as well as its burgeoning interest in the natural world and the human experience within it.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location of the painting or its history of ownership and exhibition is not specified.
