Description
In The Agony in the Garden, Christ kneels with raised arms as an angel approaches, while the disciples sleep below. Dark surroundings concentrate attention on the figures and the light that distinguishes the encounter.
Poussin links the earthly and heavenly groups through gesture and a rising arrangement of forms. The subdued palette makes the illuminated faces and garments especially expressive, conveying both solitude and consolation. The work is by Nicolas Poussin.
