Christ on the Mount of Olives1819Oil on panel, 47 x 35 cm Escuelas Pías de San Antón, Madrid | |
Goya presented the 'Pious Schools' with another small panel depicting Christ, alone and wracked with doubt, shortly before his arrest. It is a pendant to the large altarpiece (The Last Communion of St Joseph of Calasanz) in which the artist celebrates trust and security.
