Original fileChrist kneels on a rocky slope, looking toward a radiant angel holding a chalice in a break in the clouds. Below him, three apostles are slumped in sleep, unaware of the approaching group of soldiers led by Judas seen in the background through a distant gate. The engraving uses the dense, swelling lines characteristic of the artist's imitation of Albrecht Dürer's style.
Hendrick Goltzius was a central figure in the Haarlem Mannerist circle, whose work bridged the gap between traditional religious iconography and the sophisticated intellectual culture of the late 16th century. This print demonstrates the 'maniera' of the artist, specifically his ability to emulate the spirit of past masters, a concept of artistic transformation highly valued at the imperial court of Rudolf II in Prague.
