In the depths of darkness, amidst the ancient olive trees, a profound betrayal unfolded. Judas, consumed by greed and deceit, approached Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. This poignant moment is captured in vivid detail through various engravings and lithographs. One such coloured engraving portrays the heart-wrenching scene as Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss. The anguish on Christ's face is palpable, his eyes filled with sorrow and resignation. Another engraving showcases the agony endured by Jesus as he grapples with his impending fate, surrounded by disciples who slumber unaware. A colour lithograph depicts Milan's Church of San Francesco da Paola where Andrea Pozzo masterfully illustrates angels offering solace to Jesus in this sacred garden. Their ethereal presence serves as a reminder that even in moments of immense suffering, divine support can be found. The chromolitho "Jesus in mont Olivarum egressus" transports us to that fateful night when Jesus sought solace amongst nature's embrace before his crucifixion. The serenity of the garden contrasts starkly with the turmoil within Christ's soul. Through these artistic renditions, we are transported back to witness an event that shaped history forever - Christs' agony in Gethsemane. Each stroke captures not only physical pain but also emotional torment; reminding us of sacrifice and redemption offered through unwavering faith. As we gaze upon these engravings and lithographs depicting this pivotal moment from different perspectives and styles, let us reflect on our own capacity for betrayal or steadfastness during times of trial.
