Légende

Christ on the Mount of Olives, about 1480-1500. Additional Info: Before his arrest, Christ prays outside Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives, "Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me" (Luke 22:42 [Douay-Rheims]), referring to his impending suffering and death. In the foreground are three of the disciples-the beardless young John, James with his hands joined in prayer, and Peter sleeping while holding a sword. In the background Judas, clutching a moneybag, leads soldiers in through a gate. The composition is based on images found in prints depicting sequential scenes from the Passion of Christ, and this panel was likely one in a series of such glass roundels.
