The Fall and Redemption of Man: Christ on the Mount of Olives

Albrecht Altdorfer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white woodcut print of a biblical scene. The scene features a central figure of a man kneeling on one knee with his head tilted up towards the sky; he wears a robe. The central figure appears to be praying. Three men lie sleeping on the ground to the lower right of the central figure; two of the sleeping men are bearded. In the upper left corner, there is an angel figure. The background shows a group of people standing in the distance to the right, and a tree to the right of them. The moon is visible in the upper right corner of the scene. The overall mood appears somber. The image is framed by a border. The print displays detailed lines throughout.
