[Impression on paper depicting Christ on the Mount of Olives. Christ kneels, facing to the left, with folded hands, in the Garden of Gethsemane; the three apostles sit asleep beside him. Before him is a scroll bearing the inscription: 'P[ater] si possibile e[st] t[ra]nsferat[ur] ame calix iste'. On a rock to the left stands a large chalice, containing the instruments of the Passion, rod, scourge, crown of thorns, cross, and nails. An angel, appearing from the sky, holds a scroll with the words 'Constans esto ihesu fili dei'. In the background, Judas, holding a money bag, enters through a door in the wattled fence, followed by soldiers. His hand and that of a torch bearer both touch a scroll on which is inscribed: 'Quem osculatus fuero ipse est tenete eu[m]'. Clouds and stars are seen against a black sky. At the foot of the impression is a quotation from Luke xxii, 44: 'Factus est sudor ei[us] sicud gutte sagwinis decurre[n]tis i[n] terram'].

Description:
|
Watermark: Trauben, height: 62 mm, width: 32mm. With a chain line running through the centre, distance between chain lines: 37/38 mm. Matched to Piccard, Traube numbers 571, 572 (Donauwörth, Mölsheim (Worms), Nuremberg - 1455, 1456); number 575 (Aulsbach, Friedberg (Hess) - 1457); number 576 (Burg (Wupper) - 1455; number 577 (Speyer - 1460); number 578 (Nuremberg - 1452). Weigel, T.O., and Zestermann, A. Die Anfänge der Druckerkunst, volume II, page 228, reproduces a small Ochsenköpfe watermark from the Weigel impression of this print, current whereabouts unknown, but does not provide chain lines. A print in the 'dotted' manner, a technique used in some metal cuts, in which dots were stamped with a punch over selected parts of the plate to create a textured effect in those areas, the dots showing as white against the inked background, also known as manière criblé, or Schrotschnitt.
Stix, A. Einblattdrucke des VX. Jahrhunderts in der Kupferstichsammlung der Hofbibliothek zu Wien (1920), attributes this print to the Meister des Heiligen Georg.
