Gaetano Lete (XX-XXI) - Gesù nell’orto degli ulivi

Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
The painting depicts Christ gathered in prayer.
The light illuminates his face and hands, creating a strong contrast with the nocturnal background.
The white of the robe and the red of the mantle emerge from the deep dark tones.
The intense brushwork and the chiaroscuro accentuate the drama and spirituality of the scene.
