Vous n'avez pu veiller une heure avec moi
1886-1894
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.
Following the Last Supper, Jesus and the apostles retreat to Gethsemane (an olive grove) on the Mount of Olives. While his disciples rest, Christ prays alone, asking God if it is possible to let his sufferings pass him by, yet reaffirming his commitment to submit to God's will. Luke writes that an angel comes to strengthen him, though in his anguish Jesus sweats blood, a graphic detail that, unusually, Tissot omits.
While Luke's account says that Christ receives comfort from the angel, Tissot's image seems to promise little solace and, indeed, is profoundly different in tone from the earlier watercolor The Angels Came and Ministered to Him. While one angel holds a chalice the cup of Jesus' suffering the others proffer globes with scenes of the Passion to come, including Veronica's veil, the Crucifixion, and the lamentation of the Virgin Mary.
After his tormented prayer to God, Jesus comes back to his apostles, only to find them asleep (note that Peter's weapons are cast to one side). Awakening his followers, he rebukes them, urges their vigilance against temptation, and returns to his prayers.
The fine art subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of heritage oil painting wall decor.
We use a 100% hand-painted process: stretched artist-grade canvas, layered oil pigment, and a final protective varnish. There are no inkjet prints or mechanical reproductions in this collection — just a painted fine art artwork made to order.
