Christ in the Garden n.d.

Giovanni Stefano Marucelli rendered this drawing, Christ in the Garden, in red chalk. The image depicts a moment of intense emotional and spiritual struggle. It offers a glimpse into the psychological weight carried by religious figures. Red chalk is used to model a figure in contemplation. The image captures an intimate moment of vulnerability. Consider how the choice of medium influences the portrayal of Christ's humanity and the accessibility of his divine struggle. How does the artist use line and shadow to convey the emotional depth of the scene, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of sacrifice?
