The Agony in the Garden

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing featuring angels and light beams. The scene includes a figure holding a cross surrounded by swirling clouds and radiant light. In the foreground, there are figures kneeling and lying on the ground. On the right side, there is a tree bent in the wind, and in the background, there is a structure with a fence and gate. The detailed lines and shading convey both the intensity of the heavenly vision and the serenity of the foreground.
