"Agony in the Garden" (1308-1311) is a significant work by the Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, a prominent figure in the development of Italian painting, particularly within the Sienese tradition. This artwork forms part of the predella (the lowermost decorative panel) of the Maestà, Duccio's masterwork, which was originally created for the high altar of Siena Cathedral. The Maestà is a monumental altarpiece that showcases the Virgin Mary enthroned with the Christ Child surrounded by saints and angels, and its predella narrates scenes from the life of Christ.

The "Agony in the Garden" depicts the biblical scene of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before his crucifixion, as recounted in the Synoptic Gospels. It is a moment of deep human and divine emotion, where Jesus experiences a profound sense of dread and sorrow, anticipating his impending suffering and death. Duccio's representation is noted for its emotional resonance and the delicate interplay of color and light, which were innovative for the time and signaled a departure from the more rigid Byzantine style that had dominated earlier medieval art.

Measuring only a fraction of the size of the central panel of the Maestà, this scene is nonetheless rich in narrative detail and symbolic content. Duccio's composition captures the solitude of Christ in prayer, the sleeping apostles Peter, James, and John, and the approach of Judas and the soldiers, thereby foreshadowing the betrayal that is to come. The work is exemplary of Duccio's skill in conveying narrative and psychological depth within a compact space, a hallmark of his contribution to the evolution of Western painting.

The "Agony in the Garden" is celebrated for its devotional impact and its role in the progression toward a more naturalistic and expressive style in Italian art. As part of the Maestà, it has been the subject of extensive art historical scholarship and is considered a key example of Duccio's artistry and of the Sienese school's influence on the development of the Italian Renaissance.
