Object history

Listed as 'The Oratory of the Garden' in the 1505 estate sale of Isabella I of Castile possessions in Toro, it did not find a buyer at that time. Acquired along with thirty-one other panels from the collection by Philip I the Handsome during the Toro estate sale, he arranged for it to be sent to his sister, Margaret of Austria, in Mechelen.

Description

This painting is part of the Polyptych of Isabella I of Castile, which originally consisted of forty-seven small-format panels. It represents the Agony in the Garden, the moment when Jesus prays before being arrested. Juan de Flandes' Flemish training is evident in the meticulous detail with which the landscape is depicted.

Locations
* The relative location of dealers, antique shops, art galleries, and collectors leads us to the places where they were based or had one of their main headquarters. However, this does not always indicate that every artwork that passed through their hands was physically located there. In the case of antique dealers and art merchants, their business often extended across multiple territories; sometimes they would purchase items at their origin and send them directly to clients. Similarly, some collectors owned multiple residences, sometimes in different countries, where they housed their collections. It is often difficult to determine exactly where a specific piece was kept during its time in their possession. Consequently, the main location of the dealer or collector is indicated. These factors should be considered when interpreting the map. Refer to the object's history in each case.
