Christ On The Mount Of Olives (Caravaggio)
''Christ on the Mount of Olives'' (1604–1606) was a painting by the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (Italian, 1571–1610), formerly in the Kaiser Friedrich Museum painting gallery, Berlin, but destroyed in 1945. The painting's authenticity has been disputed, but it is well attested in the collection of Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani and his brother Cardinal Benedetto Giustiniani, its dimensions being virtually identical with those of a Caravaggio of the same subject listed in the Giustiniani inventory. In addition the model for Saint Peter (the reclining figure) appears identical with the two St Jeromes from Caravaggio's Roman period, '' Saint Jerome in Meditation'' and ''Saint Jerome'', both around 1605–1606. The subject is the episode related in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 26), when Jesus and his disciples went up to the Mount of Olives outside Jerusalem on the night when Christ was arrested; Jesus goes apart to pray, and returns to find the disciples sl ...

''Christ On the Mount of Olives'' is an 1889 painting by French artist Paul Gauguin. It is both a self-portrait and a representation of Jesus about to be Agony in the Garden, taken by the soldiers. Background Born in France in 1848, Paul Gauguin was an influential Post-Impressionist artist whose work was influential on the Symbolism (arts), Symbolist movement and on all of modern art for many years after his death. An extremely religious person, Gauguin focused most of his work on themes of religion and God. As art historian Thomas Buser writes, "It appears that Gauguin believed in a God who breathed life into an original chaos of insubstantial atoms and thus set nature on her course. By doing so, God materialized himself; and, if God once existed, he is now dead." Having what would have been considered an unconventional belief in religion at the time, the way in which Gauguin dealt with religious themes within his work was unlike his contemporaries. Someone who was intrigued wit ...

The libretto in German is by the poet , editor of the ''Wiener Zeitung'', with whom Beethoven worked closely. It was written in a very short period; in a letter to Breitkopf & Härtel written shortly after the oratorio's completion, Beethoven spoke of having written it in "a few weeks", although he later claimed that the piece required no more than 14 days to complete. It was first performed on April 5, 1803 at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna; in 1811, it was revised by Beethoven for publication by Breitkopf & Härtel.
