This devotional artwork, Jesus Prays in Gethsemane, La Oración en el Huerto (Jesús busca consuelo en sus discípulos), is a faithful reproduction of the 18th-century painting by José de Alcíbar (1776), one of the foremost artists of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Printed on a durable wooden plaque, this piece captures the emotional depth and serene luminosity of colonial sacred art, ideal for contemplative home or chapel spaces.
A dominant diagonal composition gives this work its spiritual momentum: the kneeling Christ at the lower left lifts His gaze toward an angel in the upper right, who offers a chalice—symbol of His forthcoming Passion. The scene’s emotional gravity is anchored by Jesus’ illuminated form, contrasted against the angel’s ethereal presence among the clouds.
Subtly placed at the bottom right, the sleeping disciples balance the scene and underscore the solitude of Christ in prayer. The painting’s asymmetric equilibrium and gentle chiaroscuro draw the eye upward, creating an unbroken movement from human suffering to divine consolation.
