About the piece
In this 1850 oil painting by Juan León Pallière, the emotional weight of the Agony in the Garden is captured through a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro. Christ, draped in a rich lapis-blue robe, is tenderly supported by two angels as light breaks through the heavy, turbulent clouds above. The composition is framed by an integral painted arched border with ornate gold motifs in the spandrels, giving the work the presence of a classical devotional altarpiece.
