Gethsemane und Golgotha 1873

This 1873 artwork, "Gethsemane und Golgatha," is a cover from a book of sermons by Emil Quandt, a German pastor. The cover depicts a man kneeling in prayer, likely Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, as the title suggests. The image is a sepia tone, common for the time period, and the simple composition emphasizes the figure’s piety and emotional depth. The book, published by Verlag von Ludwig Rauch, is a testament to the importance of religious literature in 19th-century Germany, and the image itself speaks to the enduring power of faith and spirituality.
