Christ on the Mount of Olives 1511

"Christ on the Mount of Olives" is a 1511 woodcut by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. The artwork depicts the moment when Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane before his arrest, with three of his disciples sleeping in the foreground. Dürer masterfully utilizes the stark contrast of light and dark to create a dramatic, emotional impact. The deeply etched lines and expressive figures, characteristic of his style, add a sense of realism and urgency to this poignant biblical scene. The artwork is currently housed in the British Museum, London.
