Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, 1522-1526. Creator: Everhard Rensig (German); Gerhard Remisch
Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, 1522-1526. These two stained glass panels originally belonged to an extensive program of Old and New Testament subjects that originally decorated the cloister of the Cistercian Abbey of Mariawald, near Cologne. The original placement of glass at Mariawald involved windows composed of two openings. Each comprised three large glass panels plus a smaller tracery panel. Two scenes in each window represented Old Testament subjects (below) and the New Testament (above). Above the biblical narrative panels were smaller messenger panels depicting images of prophets with scrolls. At the base of each window were donor and patron saint panels. In this way, the Old Testament was shown to prefigure the events of the New. These two panels depicting scenes of Christs Passion were originally located in the north corner of the east cloister gallery with the Kiss of Judas on the left, and Christ in Gethsemane on the right. Mariawald was founded in 1480 and closed in 1802 when the stained glass windows were removed. Other panels from the series are preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Recent scholarship has attributed the glass to the Rhenish glass painters Everhard Rensig or Gerhard Remisch

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite stained glass panels of "Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, 1522-1526" created by Everhard Rensig and Gerhard Remisch. Originally part of a larger collection that adorned the cloister of the Cistercian Abbey of Mariawald near Cologne, these two panels depict scenes from Christ's Passion. The placement of these glass panels at Mariawald was carefully thought out, with each window consisting of three large narrative panels representing Old Testament subjects below and New Testament scenes above. Above these biblical narratives were smaller messenger panels featuring prophets holding scrolls. Donor and patron saint panels adorned the base of each window, creating a cohesive visual representation where the Old Testament foreshadowed events in the New. These particular panels depicting Christ's Passion were originally situated in the north corner of the east cloister gallery, with "Kiss of Judas" on one side and "Christ in Gethsemane" on the other. Founded in 1480, Mariawald ceased to exist in 1802 when its stained glass windows were removed. Today, some pieces from this remarkable series are preserved at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Recent scholarship has attributed this stunning glasswork to either Everhard Rensig or Gerhard Remisch, both esteemed Rhenish glass painters who left an indelible mark on art history through their masterful craftsmanship. This print allows us to appreciate their skillful creation while offering a glimpse into religious iconography during that era.
