拍品专文

This composition is closely related to the autograph work by Francesco del Cairo, now housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Palazzo Barberini, Rome (inv. no. 2513). Del Cairo produced a number of variations of this episode from the Life of Christ, each differing slightly in composition.

The subject depicts Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. Following the Last Supper, Christ retreated to the Mount of Olives accompanied by Peter, John and James. Upon entering the garden, Christ was overcome with a deep anguish, anticipating the suffering that awaited him. He urged his disciples to remain awake and pray with him. He prayed three times but each time returned to find his disciples asleep – as we see in the background of the painting here. Otherwise alone in his grief, Christ was then accompanied by an angel who descended to offer him strength.
