The artwork titled “Christ on the Mount of Olives” is attributed to Caravaggio, created in 1605. This religious painting was executed using oil on canvas and measured 154 x 222 cm. Embodying the Baroque style and using the dramatic light and shadow characteristic of Tenebrism, this piece was once part of the art history canon. Unfortunately, the artwork is listed as destroyed and is no longer viewable in its original form.
As for the image you’ve provided, it is important to clarify that there is no known surviving artwork by Caravaggio titled “Christ on the Mount of Olives”; hence, the image cannot be properly attributed to him and the description provided does not match a known work of Caravaggio. However, if this were a depiction of that subject, one would expect to see an intense and emotional rendition of Jesus and possibly the apostles during the scene from the Christian New Testament in which Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane prior to his arrest. Caravaggio was known for his realistic portrayal of human figures, dramatic use of chiaroscuro, and religious themes that often focused on moments of intense emotion or conversion.
