"Christ in Gethsemane" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Hans Leonhard Schaufelein, who was active in the early 16th century. Schaufelein, born around 1480 and died in 1539 or 1540, was a painter and woodcut artist who studied under Albrecht Dürer and contributed to the rich artistic culture of the Holy Roman Empire during the Northern Renaissance. The painting "Christ in Gethesemane" depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, a pivotal moment of introspection and prayer before his arrest and subsequent crucifixion.

This artwork is significant for its portrayal of a deeply human and emotional Christ, which reflects the Northern Renaissance's emphasis on detailed narrative and expressive figures. Schaufelein's use of color, light, and shadow serves to enhance the dramatic tension of the scene, while his attention to detail in the natural surroundings and the figures' attire is characteristic of his meticulous style.

"Christ in Gethsemane" is also an important piece for understanding Schaufelein's artistic development and his interpretation of religious themes. As a contemporary of Dürer, Schaufelein's work is often compared to that of his mentor, yet it also demonstrates his unique approach to composition and storytelling. The painting is a valuable example of the devotional art of the period and provides insight into the spiritual and cultural milieu of the time.

While the exact date of creation for "Christ in Gethsemane" is not known, it is generally attributed to Schaufelein's mature period, when he had established his own workshop and was producing works for various patrons, including religious institutions. The painting is part of a larger oeuvre that includes altarpieces, portraits, and numerous woodcuts, all of which contribute to Schaufelein's reputation as a significant figure in the history of German Renaissance art.

Today, "Christ in Gethsemane" is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance as a representation of 16th-century religious art. It continues to be studied by art historians and scholars for its technique, iconography, and place within the broader context of Renaissance art and theology.
