Christus in de hof van Getsemane 1521

"Christus in de hof van Getsemane" is a small drawing by the Dutch artist Lucas van Leyden, completed in 1521. The drawing depicts the biblical scene where Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane, with three of his disciples asleep in the foreground. The detail and precision of the composition are characteristic of van Leyden’s style, which was heavily influenced by the Northern Renaissance. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and is a testament to van Leyden's talent for capturing both emotion and narrative in a small format.
