The Agony in the Garden is a painting of 1455–1456 by the Italian artist Andrea Mantegna[1] in the National Gallery, London.

The painting shows Christ (at the centre) praying before a group of cherubs (at upper left) who are holding instruments of the Passion.

Judas, the disciple who betrayed Christ, leads a group of soldiers (centre right) from Jerusalem to arrest him.

Meanwhile, Christ's disciples Peter, James and John sleep (bottom).

[2] Mantegna's brother-in-law Giovanni Bellini is considered to have been inspired by this painting for his own depiction of the subject, painted between 1460 and 1465 and also in the National Gallery.
