"Christus op de Olijfberg" (Christ on the Mount of Olives) is a 1522 woodcut print by an anonymous artist. It portrays the moment from the Bible where Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane. He is shown with his hands raised, while three disciples sleep in the foreground. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is notable for its detailed depiction of the scene, with a focus on the emotional tension and dramatic lighting.
