About the piece

Painted in 1753 by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, this powerful work illustrates the Agony in the Garden with a masterful use of light and shadow. While Christ is bathed in a celestial glow and comforted by an angel holding a chalice, the composition is balanced by the encroaching figures of soldiers and sleeping disciples, creating a scene of profound dramatic tension and divine grace.
