My interpretation of this painting is that God is able to calm and be a source of hope and faith for all of those who believe and are witnessing his power and blessings. In this painting, there are people in a boat and they all for the most part seem memorized by God, and for and almost all are reaching for him or intensely looking and viewing him. My interpretation of this painting furthermore and moreover is that we all might experience different and various emotions when trials come. As everyone seems to be doing their own thing in the painting, as the one person in the back, seems to be trying to save himself. The others seems to be turning to God, and that in terms when we will be truly saved. Hence, by putting our trust and faith in God, especially in times of difficultly and conflict, he will save us and we will be at truly at peace.
