- Description
- A landscape with Christ kneeling in the centre; an angel appears on a cloud to his left; there are sleeping Apostles in the foreground. This strange and melancholy painting shows Christ praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the eve of his crucifixion. An angel appears bearing a chalice while three disciples, Peter, James and John, sleep in the foreground. In the middle distance, right, Judas tells the priests where Christ is and soldiers approach to take him prisoner.
