About the piece

Attributed to the Flemish master Gaspar de Crayer, this mid-17th-century work depicts the Agony in the Garden with profound emotional depth. The composition is defined by the striking contrast between Christ's vibrant red mantle and the atmospheric, dark background, characteristic of the Southern Netherlandish Baroque style.
