17th Large Italian Walnut Bas-relief Panel "garden Of Gethsemane"

Large walnut panel richly carved in bas-relief, depicting the scene from the Garden of Gethsemane, Veneto, second half of the 17th century.
The Garden of Gethsemane, located at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, is the sacred place where, according to the Gospels, Jesus retreated to pray and sweat blood before being betrayed by Judas and arrested. While Jesus prays, the three disciples who accompanied him—Peter, James, and John—fall asleep despite having been asked to pray and keep watch.
Our bas-relief depicts the scene with great detail: on the left, the three disciples are seen asleep at the foot of a tree, while on the right, Jesus is seen kneeling before an angel who offers him the Eucharistic chalice; the chalice is the symbol of the Passion, foretelling the sacrifice and comforting Jesus.

Beautiful carving quality.
