Abstract:

The Museum recently acquired works titled Cabbage Worship, 1982, by Gilbert and George, British and Agony in the Garden, by Giovanni “Guercino” Francesco Barbieri (1591-1666), Italian. Cabbage Worship addresses how individuals put their faith in fake causes by having individuals worship a head of cabbage. Agony in the Garden was painted between 1627 and 1632, probably for the altar of a chapel in the church of St. Margherita in Bologna, and depicts an angel appearing to Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. A description and short biography of the artists is described.
