Description: | Signed: yes Description: The subject represented in this painting is taken from the New Testament (Mark 14. 32-43). While praying in the garden of Gethsemane, near Jerusalem, Christ accepts his forthcoming death which is announced by an angel holding a chalice and a cross. His apostles remain asleep in the background. The brilliancy of the palette and the gentle sentimentality of this image are characteristic of the mature style of José Antolínez. He trained in Madrid under Francisco Rizi and specialised in paintings of the Immaculate Conception, one of which also belongs to the Bowes Museum. | Subjects: | Christ Agony in the Garden angel) apostles religion (Passion | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Antolínez, José (Spanish painter, 1639-1676) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8965... | Go to resource |
