Agony in the Garden (Blake) (original) (raw)
The Agony in the Garden is a small painting by William Blake, completed as part of his 1799–1800 series of Bible illustrations commissioned by his patron and friend Thomas Butts. The work illustrates a passage from the Gospel of Luke which describes Christ's turmoil in the Garden of Gethsemane before his arrest and Crucifixion following Judas's betrayal. In Blake's painting a brilliantly coloured and majestic angel breaks through the surrounding darkness and descends from a cloud to aid and physically support Jesus in his hour of agony. The work is dominated by vertical lines, formed both from the trees and from the two arms of the angel. Two inner lines converge on Christ's palms, evoking the nails driven through him during his crucifixion.

The Agony in the Garden was bequeathed by Blake collector Graham Robertson to the National Trust in 1948. It was acquired by the Tate Gallery the following year. (en) L'Agonie dans le jardin (en anglais « Agony in the Garden ») est une peinture de William Blake, réalisée dans le cadre d'une série d'illustrations bibliques réalisée entre 1799 et 1800, commandée par son mécène et ami Thomas Butts. L'œuvre illustre un passage de l'Évangile de Luc qui décrit l'agonie du Christ dans le jardin de Gethsémani avant son arrestation et sa crucifixion, qui suivent la trahison de Judas. Dans cette peinture de Blake, un ange majestueux, aux couleurs éclatantes, traverse l'obscurité qui l'entoure et descend d'un nuage pour aider et soutenir physiquement Jésus dans son agonie. L'œuvre est dominée par des lignes verticales, formées à la fois par les arbres et les deux bras de l'ange. Deux lignes intérieures convergent vers les paumes du Christ, évoquant les stigmates des clous enfoncés lors de sa crucifixion. L'agonie dans le jardin est léguée par un des collectionneurs de William Blake, Graham Robertson, au National Trust, en 1948. La Tate Gallery en fait l'acquisition l'année suivante. (fr) |
