Gethsemane 1916

Oskar Kokoschka's 1916 lithograph *Gethsemane* depicts the biblical story of Jesus' agony in the garden. The expressive lines and dark shading of the print create a sense of unease and foreboding. This work is characteristic of Kokoschka's early Expressionist style, in which he used highly charged emotion to convey his subject matter. *Gethsemane* is a powerful and moving image that captures the intense drama of the biblical narrative.
