The Last Supper And The Agony In The Garden From “The Book Of Hours”

c1500. Tempera on vellum, 10.6 x 7.7cm. Slight cockling and paint loss upper and lower left. Framed.

The Agony in the Garden refers to the events in the life of Jesus, as recorded in the New Testament, between the Farewell Discourse at the conclusion of the Last Supper and Jesus’ arrest. “Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane while three of his disciples – Peter, James and John – sleep. An angel reveals a cup and a paten, symbols of his impending sacrifice. In the background, Judas approaches with the Roman soldiers who will arrest Jesus (New Testament, Mark 14: 32-43).” Ref: The National Gallery, UK; Wiki.
