Hello,

I found this old painting and would love some help identifying it. The painting and a close up of the signature are attached.

Thanks,

Sarah

It's similar to The Storm on the Sea of Galilee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Storm_on_the_Sea_of_Galilee) by Rembrandt van Rijn, and the signature seems to end with "Rijn" so maybe a copy of that Rembrandt by someone else. That Rembrandt was stolen in 1990 and it's location is unknown.

I wish it was a Rembrandt! I have tried to search the signature but haven't found anything so perhaps it is an unknown artist adopting his style, the original is very beautiful.

Thanks for your response.
