Über das Gemälde
The Agony in the Garden is an early painting by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, who created it c. 1459–1465. It is a tempera painting on panel and is now in the National Gallery, London.
This work portrays the Agony in the Garden with Christ kneeling on the Mount of Olives in prayer, with his disciples Peter, James and John sleeping near to him. In the background, Judas leads the Roman soldiers to capture Christ.
The picture is closely related to the similar work by Bellini's brother-in-law, Andrea Mantegna, also in the National Gallery. It is likely that both derived from a drawing by Bellini's father, Jacopo. In Bellini's version, the treatment of dawn light has a more important role in giving the scene a quasi-unearthly atmosphere.

Im Leben von Giovanni Bellini
Das ganze Lebenc. 1430
Born
1453
His sister Nicolosia marries Mantegna
Giovanni's sister Nicolosia marries the painter Andrea Mantegna, who becomes kin to the Bellini house; it is his art that will exert the strongest influence on Giovanni.
1470
The first commission at the Scuola di San Marco
In 1470 Giovanni receives his first commission, to work with Gentile and other artists at the Scuola di San Marco, where among other subjects he paints a Deluge with Noah's Ark.
1475
Antonello da Messina in Venice
In 1475 Antonello da Messina arrives in Venice and meets Giovanni Bellini; Antonello's oil-painting methods are visible in many of Bellini's later works.
after 1479
Conservator of the paintings in the Great Council Hall
After 1479 much of Bellini's energy goes into his duties as conservator of the paintings in the great hall of the Doge's Palace: he restores his predecessors' works and paints new subjects on Venice's part in the wars of Frederick Barbarossa. His reward is first the reversion of a broker's place in the Fondaco dei Tedeschi and then, instead, a fixed annual pension of eighty ducats.
by 1485
Married to Ginevra
A record from 1485 attests that Giovanni Bellini is married to a woman named Ginevra.
