The "San Zeno Altarpiece: Agony in the Garden" is a renowned early Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Andrea Mantegna, created around 1458-1460. This work is part of the predella, the lowermost section, of the larger San Zeno Altarpiece, originally commissioned for the San Zeno Basilica in Verona. Mantegna's masterpiece is celebrated for its innovative use of perspective and meticulous attention to detail, characteristics that have cemented the artist's reputation as a pioneer of the Italian Renaissance.

The "Agony in the Garden" depicts a poignant moment from the New Testament, specifically the Gospel of Matthew (26:36-46), where Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane while his disciples sleep, shortly before his betrayal and arrest. Mantegna's rendition is particularly noted for its dramatic portrayal of emotional intensity and the masterful rendering of the nocturnal landscape. The artist employs a striking use of foreshortening and perspective to draw the viewer into the scene, enhancing the narrative's emotional impact.

Mantegna's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of natural elements, such as the rocks, trees, and the distant cityscape, which not only serve as a backdrop but also contribute to the overall mood of the scene. The figures are rendered with a sculptural quality, a testament to Mantegna's study of classical antiquity and his interest in human anatomy.

Originally part of the larger altarpiece, the "Agony in the Garden" and other sections were dispersed over the centuries. Today, the painting is housed in the Tourist Board Collection in Verona, Italy, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. The San Zeno Altarpiece, in its entirety, was a monumental work that showcased Mantegna's innovative approach to composition, perspective, and his deep understanding of the human condition, making it a pivotal piece in the evolution of Renaissance art.
