Kristus i Gethsemane Have 1829

"Kristus i Gethsemane Have" (1829) by Carl Christian Seydewitz depicts a pivotal moment from the New Testament: Jesus's prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Kneeling in the foreground, Jesus is visited by an angel, who offers him comfort and strength in the face of his impending crucifixion. The scene is bathed in soft, ethereal light, creating a sense of spiritual presence. This painting, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Seydewitz's ability to capture both the emotional weight and the divine beauty of this significant biblical event.
