The Garden of Gethsemane is a 1518 oil by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at National Museum of Western Art.
This painting shows a scene from the Bible, with Jesus kneeling and praying in a garden. An angel is above him, holding a cross. In the foreground, three men are sleeping. The painting is rich in detail, with the angel's wings and the men's robes painted in vivid colors. The background is dark, with a few trees and a wall visible. The painting is a beautiful example of Renaissance art, and it's worth looking into the work of Lucas Cranach the Elder, the artist who created it.
Lucas Cranach the Elder was a German Renaissance painter and printmaker in woodcut and engraving.
