"Agony in the Garden" is a drawing by Paul Troger, a renowned Austrian artist of the Baroque period. The drawing depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ praying in the Garden of Gethsemane before his crucifixion. Troger's meticulous line work and detailed rendering of the figures, including the angel offering a chalice, create a sense of drama and emotion, capturing the moment of Christ's profound anguish as he faces his destiny. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger painting, showcasing Troger's skill in composition and figure drawing, and provides a glimpse into his creative process. "Agony in the Garden" is housed in the Städel Museum, a testament to Troger's artistic legacy and the enduring power of religious themes in art.
