EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Christ in the garden of olive trees" transports viewers to a profound moment in biblical history. Created by Albrecht Dürer in 1508, this burin engraving on copper measures 11.8x7.5 cm and is part of a private collection. The artwork depicts Jesus Christ fervently praying amidst the ancient olive trees of Gethsemane. Accompanied by his apostles Peter, John, and James, who have succumbed to sleep, Jesus finds solace in communion with God before his impending crucifixion. In this scene from the New Testament's Gospel accounts, Dürer masterfully captures the emotional weight of Christ's inner turmoil as he kneels with outstretched arms. A winged angel appears as an ethereal apparition above him—a symbol of divine presence during times of great distress. Dressed in flowing robes that accentuate their heavenly nature, both Jesus and the angel emanate a sense of spiritual power and grace. The contrast between their serene figures and the slumbering apostles highlights the human frailty juxtaposed against divine strength. Through meticulous attention to detail characteristic of German Renaissance artistry, Dürer skillfully conveys not only religious devotion but also universal themes such as sacrifice and redemption. This timeless masterpiece invites contemplation on faith and serves as a poignant reminder of Christ's unwavering commitment to fulfilling his mission despite facing immense agony. Luisa Ricciarini
