EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a profound moment in the life of Jesus Christ - his agonizing prayer in the Garden of Olives. Painted by Anton Henkel in the 15th century, this oil on panel artwork showcases the artist's remarkable talent and attention to detail. In this scene, we see Jesus kneeling before an angelic figure, deep in prayer. His face is filled with anguish as he contemplates the immense sacrifice that awaits him. The cup symbolizes his impending suffering and crucifixion, while his apostles and disciples can be seen sleeping nearby, oblivious to the weight of their master's burden. The presence of soldiers hints at the imminent betrayal that will take place within these very grounds. Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' own disciples, will identify him to these soldiers later on, leading to his arrest and eventual crucifixion. Henkel's portrayal beautifully conveys both the physical and emotional turmoil experienced by Jesus during this pivotal moment. The rich colors and intricate details bring this sacred scene to life, inviting viewers to reflect upon Christ's unwavering devotion and selflessness. Originally housed in Payerne Abbey in Vaud, Switzerland, this masterpiece now resides in a private collection but continues to inspire awe and reverence for its timeless depiction of faith and sacrifice.
