Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46) 1595 - 1605

This drawing, "Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46)," depicts the biblical scene of Christ praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, as his disciples sleep nearby. The composition, created between 1595 and 1605 by an anonymous artist, uses delicate lines and shading to create a sense of serenity and contemplation. In the background, a faint city skyline suggests the approaching danger of Christ's impending arrest. The drawing, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is an excellent example of 16th-century Renaissance art, emphasizing the emotional depth of religious subjects.
