Passion of Christ 1516

Albrecht Altdorfer's "Passion of Christ" (1516) is a powerful depiction of the agony of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. The scene is set at night, with a dramatic sky illuminated by a fiery red sunset. In the center, Christ kneels in prayer, while his disciples sleep nearby. An angel descends from heaven, offering Christ a chalice, symbolizing his acceptance of his fate. This painting is a testament to Altdorfer's mastery of detail and his ability to convey emotional intensity.
