"Christus in de Hof van Olijven" is a 1648 etching by Albert Flamen, a Flemish artist known for his detailed engravings. The etching depicts the biblical scene of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, a moment of intense spiritual reflection before his crucifixion. Jesus is shown kneeling in prayer, with his hands raised towards heaven. Above him, a beam of light emanates from a cloud, signifying divine presence. The etching's delicate lines and intricate shading capture the solemnity and drama of this pivotal moment in Christian history.
