From LinkedCulture
Three disciples lie collapsed in the foreground, their heavy robes frozen in crosshatched shadow, while Christ kneels alone above them, arms raised toward a descending angel bearing a cross. Albrecht Dürer captured this moment of isolation and surrender in a 1508 German engraving no larger than a notebook page. The contrast between that radiant heavenly light and the darkness pooling beneath the sleeping figures shows what a master burin could achieve, making this small print one of the most emotionally dense works Dürer ever produced.
