About the piece
Created in 1902, this evocative oil painting by Finnish artist Magnus Enckell captures the profound stillness of Gethsemane. The work is a masterclass in Symbolist expression, using deep blues and nocturnal shadows to contrast the solitary vigil of the standing figure against the heavy, earth-bound sleep of his companions.
