The Round Passion: Christ in Gethsemane (Agony in the Garden)

Lucas van Leyden

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a circular scene depicting a biblical event. The circular scene has a decorative border with leaves, flowers, and human figures. Inside the circle, Jesus Christ is on the ground, on the left, leaning on his right elbow, with his head on his right hand. He wears a long robe and has a cloth draped over his legs. Peter, on the right, sits on a rock, looking away. In the background, a body of water and distant buildings are visible. The year 1509 is visible on a banner at the top of the circle. The drawing style is detailed and realistic, characteristic of the Northern Renaissance period.
