From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
The Betrayal and Arrest of Christ in Gethsemane is a 1624 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a dark, crowded scene with a group of people in dim light. Some are standing, others kneeling or huddled together. Their faces and clothes are mostly browns, yellows, and shadows, making it hard to tell details. One person in the center seems to be lying down, while others lean in around them. The lighting is dramatic—some faces glow faintly, while others stay in shadow. This effect makes the scene feel tense and urgent. This technique is called *chiaroscuro*.
