The Agony in the Garden in the works of the Roman, Venetian and Bolognese school of painting : Taddeo Zuccaro – Jacopo Bassano – Guercino

Kristova molitva u Getsemanskom vrtu kao jedan od događaja iz njegova života opisan u Novom zavjetu u sva četiri evanđelja, vezuje se uz njegovu Muku i jedna je od najčešće prikazivanih tema u kršćanskoj umjetnosti. Odnosi se na događaj koji se zbio između Posljednje večere i Judine izdaje te Kristova uhićenja na Maslinskoj gori, gdje je duhovno iskusio svu patnju prije smrti na križu. U ovom radu je ta tema analizirana na primjerima djela umjetnika rimske, venecijanske i bolonjske slikarske škole od kasne renesanse preko manirizma do baroka, s naglaskom na djelima Taddea Zuccara, Jacopa Bassana i Guercina, pri čemu su obuhvaćeni povijesni kontekst odnosno prilike u kojima su ta djela nastala da bi se razjasnile ne samo razlike među navedenim školama nego i preplitanje u stilovima i njihove sličnosti kroz međusobne kontakte i utjecaje njihovih predstavnika.Christ's prayer in the Gethsemane Garden or the Agony in the Garden as one of the events of his life described in the New Testament in all four Gospels is linked to the Passion of Christ and is one of the most frequently depicted themes in Christian art. It refers to the event that took place between the Last Supper and the Betrayal of Christ, and Christ's arrest on the Mount of Olives where he experienced an emotional turmoil the night before his crucifixion. In this paper, this topic is analyzed on examples of paintings by artists of the Roman, Venetian and Bolognese school of painting, from the late Renaissance through Manirism to Baroque, with emphasis on the works of three artists - Taddeo Zuccaro, Jacopo Bassano and Guercino. The historical context and the circumstances in which these works were created are explained in order to clarify not only the differences between the mentioned schools but also the mutual influences and similarities between them through their contacts and through the influence of their representatives
