About the Item

This evocative Veronese School painting captures the moment in the Garden of Gethsemane when Christ, overwhelmed with sorrow, prays to God before his arrest and crucifixion. Supported by an angel, he is depicted in a moment of physical and spiritual agony, his posture heavy with exhaustion. In the upper left corner, another angel presents the chalice—the "cup of suffering"—a reference to Christ's prayer, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." Below, the three disciples—Peter, James, and John—are shown asleep, unable to stay awake despite Jesus’ request. The dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, together with the solemn palette, enhance the emotional gravity of the scene and reflect stylistic traits associated with early 17th-century devotional painting. oil on slate early 17th century unframed 41.5 x 31 cm (16 3/8 x 12 1/4 in) framed 52 x 41.5 cm (20 1/2 x 16 3/8 in) Provenance: Bonhams, Old Master Paintings, 25 April 2018, London, Lot 111, sold for 5500 GBP.

Another shallow scratch runs across the lower right corner of the slate; this does not penetrate the full thickness of the stone and does not compromise the structural integrity of the panel. The frame has great charm and bears a rich, aged patina. It exhibits several areas of surface loss and wear, which can be seen in the accompanying photographs.
