Gethsemane 1902

"Gethsemane" is a 1902 painting by Finnish artist Magnus Enckell depicting the biblical scene of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. The painting shows Jesus in the foreground, with his disciples sleeping in the background, highlighting the contrast between Jesus' anguish and the disciples' slumber. The use of dark colors and a dramatic composition emphasizes the emotional weight of the scene. "Gethsemane" is housed in the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki, Finland, and is a significant example of Enckell's mature style, characterized by strong, expressive brushstrokes and a deep understanding of human emotion.
