EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of "Christ on the Mount of Olives (Thy Will Be Done!)" painted by Emanuel Kresenc Liska in 1886. The oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 188.5x128.5 cm, is housed at the Narodni Galerie in Prague, Czech Republic. The painting depicts Jesus Christ kneeling in prayer amidst the darkness of night before his crucifixion. With a halo illuminating his profile, he seeks strength and endurance to face the impending persecution that awaits him. This deeply emotional scene from the New Testament showcases Jesus' unwavering faith and commitment to fulfilling God's will. Commissioned by Rudolf M. count KlAar, this artwork was originally installed at St Raphael chapel within Prague's Institute for the Blind at KlAarov. Its presence there aimed to inspire and provide solace to those facing their own personal struggles. Liska's skillful brushwork brings out every intricate detail of this biblical moment - from Christ's serene expression to the majestic backdrop of Jerusalem's Mount of Olives. Through this powerful image, viewers are reminded of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice and encouraged to find strength through prayer during challenging times. As we contemplate this remarkable painting, we are invited into a deeper understanding of Christian faith and its central message: Thy will be done!
