Agony in the Garden
(Renaissance Europe )
This piece depicting the agony in the garden is a domestic altarpiece ("Hausaltar"). It is an alabaster relief fitted with two modern wood dowels onto an original base. The piece is chipped and repaired in many places, especially in the upper right corner, and there is a chip in the sleeve of the central apostle. The angel holding the chalice is missing.
