Description: This painting depicts the moment when Saint Nicholas appears to a group of sailors and saves them from a storm. The saint is shown in the upper left corner of the painting, surrounded by angels and holding a bishop’s staff. The sailors are shown in the lower right corner, desperately clinging to the ship as it is tossed by the waves.
