Christus in de hof van Gethsemane 1670

Wenceslaus Hollar's etching, *Christus in de hof van Gethsemane* (1670), depicts the biblical scene of Christ praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. The composition is divided into two parts, with Christ and an angel ascending to heaven in the upper half, while the three sleeping disciples remain below. The scene is rendered in meticulous detail with the use of chiaroscuro to accentuate the dramatic effect of light and shadow. Hollar was a prolific printmaker known for his precise engravings, and this artwork is a testament to his mastery of the medium. This piece is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
