"Christ on the Mount of Olives" (1521) is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. This piece is a woodcut print that forms part of Dürer's larger series known as the "Small Passion," which consists of 36 woodcuts depicting various scenes from the Passion of Christ. The "Small Passion" series is considered one of Dürer's masterpieces in the medium of woodcut and reflects his deep engagement with religious themes, as well as his innovative approach to printmaking.

The "Christ on the Mount of Olives" woodcut illustrates the biblical scene described in the Gospels, where Jesus, accompanied by his disciples Peter, James, and John, goes to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray before his arrest. The image captures the moment of Jesus's anguished prayer as he contemplates his impending suffering and death. An angel is depicted offering him a cup, symbolizing the cup of suffering that Jesus is about to accept.

Dürer's work is distinguished by its intricate detail, emotional expressiveness, and technical mastery. The composition is carefully structured to guide the viewer's eye towards the central figure of Christ, while the surrounding darkness and the sleeping disciples enhance the sense of isolation and foreboding. The woodcut is also notable for its use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, to create a dramatic atmosphere that underscores the gravity of the scene.

As with many of Dürer's prints, "Christ on the Mount of Olives" was widely disseminated and had a significant impact on the visual culture of the time. It not only served as a devotional image but also influenced other artists' representations of the same scene. Today, the woodcut is held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into Dürer's religious beliefs, his technical skill, and the broader cultural context of the early 16th century.
