"Christus in de hof van Getsemane" is an etching by Jacob Matham, created in 1615. The print depicts the biblical scene where Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane, with his disciples asleep in the foreground. The composition is dramatic, with Jesus kneeling in prayer while an angel descends from heaven holding a chalice. The scene takes place in a landscape setting with trees and rocks, which are depicted with great detail. This etching is part of a larger series of prints that Matham created illustrating the life of Jesus, known for their precise and highly detailed style. It is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
