Agony in the Garden is a 1505 oil by Hans Burgkmair the Elder, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting Agony in the Garden, held at Hamburger Kunsthalle.
This painting shows a man kneeling on a rock, his hands clasped together in prayer. He's dressed in a long, dark robe with a white cloth draped over his arm. A golden halo surrounds his head, and he looks up towards the sky with a solemn expression. In the background, there are trees and other foliage, and another figure is visible in the top-left corner, holding a chalice. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation and devotion.
