Agony in the Garden

This is an extract from one of two paintings of different episodes of the Passion (Christ’s torture and death). This was one of two smaller panels of Christ that may well have formed part of a multi-panelled altarpiece made by Ambrogio Bergognone in around 1501

Ambrogio Bergognone ran one of the leading painting workshops in Lombardy in the late fifteenth century, and his brother worked closely with him.
