This is an artwork by Botticelli. Here he depicts a famous story in the Bible where Jesus is going to pray in the garden before he is arrested. Another fact that goes along with the story are the three disciples sleeping at the base of the garden. The way that Botticelli separates Jesus from the rest of the men is by the light halo on his head. An interesting fact about Jesus is that he was painted with red garments. The significance is that red could represent blood and he was about to spill a lot of it. Probably the most interesting aspect of the painting would have to be the angel. What gender is the angel? Botticelli looks like he tried to not give a gender to the angel because it has physical features that could fit a male or female. Also, the angel gives off a slightly negative vibe. The angles wings are black instead of yellow or gold, some bright color.
Botticelli guides the viewer’s eyes down the painting. The painter first sees the angel in the sky reaching out its arms. Then the viewer goes down the body of Jesus down the path. At the end of the path you come across the final object of the painting which is the three disciples sleeping. One last interesting thing of the painting is the placement of Jesus’ hands. If you look closely you can see that they are almost in the position of having bonds on them.
