Christ in the Garden of Olives is an oil on canvas painting created in 1840 by French painter Théodore Chassériau.

[1][2] The work depicts the Christian iconographic subject of the Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Olives.

In this painting, Jesus Christ is accompanied by three apostles: Peter, John and James the Greater.

After praying three times to God on Mount Gethsemane, Jesus receives, from three angels, the chalice and the symbols of the Passion of Christ.

[3] Chassérieu had been a disciple of neoclassical master Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres but was also an admirer of the romanticism of Eugène Delacroix.
