# Christ in the Garden of Olives [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GAUGUIN, Paul]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 73 x 92 cm ## Commentary Gauguin has returned to a scene from Christ's Passion, chronologically preceding that of the Green Christ and the Yellow Christ, in which his isolation and impending martyrdom are made apparent by the gloomy tonality against which his flaming hair glows, and by an all-encompassing landscape which heightens the sense of alienation. Once again, the identification of the artist with Christ is too overt to be overlooked. ## Related artworks - [A Vase of Flowers]() - [Above the Abyss]() - [Adam and Eve \(Flight\) - Tahitian Couple Walking]() - [Aha oe feii? \(Are you jealous?\)]() - [Aita tamari vahine Judith te parari \(Annah, the Javanese Woman\)]() - [And the Gold of Their Bodies \(Et l'or de leurs corps\)]() - [Barbarian Music]() - [Bathing Women at a Tree]() - [Be Mysterious]() - [Blue Trees]() - [Bonjour, Monsieur Gauguin]() - [Bouquet of Flowers]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
