EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Christus in de hof van Getsemane" transports us back to the year 1608, where we witness a profound moment of Christ's prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. The image is a collaboration between talented artists Hieronymus Wierix, Melchior Model, and Pierre Firens. The scene depicts Christ kneeling in fervent prayer as the night sky appears above him. His face reflects both anguish and determination, knowing what lies ahead. A chalice symbolizing his impending sacrifice rests beside him, while Peter, John, and James sleep nearby, unaware of the magnitude of this moment. In stark contrast to Christ's peaceful demeanor are Judas Iscariot leading a group of soldiers towards them through an ornate gate. This juxtaposition highlights the imminent betrayal that will lead to Christ's crucifixion. The intricate details within this artwork are truly remarkable. The book of Psalms with its beautiful ornamentation and cartouche adds depth to the composition. The psalm text is printed alongside a delicate knot pattern that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. Quint Lox has skillfully captured this historical masterpiece from the Liszt Collection without mentioning any commercial use intentions. Through this photo print, viewers can appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also reflect on Christ's unwavering faith during his most challenging moments on Earth.
