"The Angel of Gethsemane" is a thoughtful portrayal, inspired by the solemn moment of Christ's solitude and suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane. Lee shares that this piece arose from a concept proposed by her friend. The image aims to capture the emotional weight of Christ's choice to endure His Atonement for the sake of humanity.
Lee reflects on the depth of Heavenly Father's love: a Father who sent an angel to comfort His son during His heaviest and darkest moment on earth. Lee emphasizes the significant gesture of Christ and the angel mutually reaching for one another, a symbol of support and understanding from the Divine to the Savior.
This painting is a poignant reminder of sacrifice and divine love, marking a significant moment in biblical history with a focus on the intimate connection between Heavenly Father and Christ. Lee's interpretation brings a human touch to a divine narrative, inviting viewers to feel the emotional gravity and tender care inherent in the scene.
