Christus in de hof van Gethsemane 1618

"Christus in de hof van Gethsemane" (Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane) is an etching by Nicolaes de Bruyn, created in 1618. The print depicts the biblical story of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, while his disciples sleep. The scene is set in a verdant landscape with a distant cityscape in the background. De Bruyn's detailed etching captures the dramatic moment, with the angel offering Christ a cup of consolation, and the sleeping disciples in the foreground. This etching is a powerful example of the artist's skill and the importance of religious imagery in Dutch art.
