Christ on the Mount of Olives (1604-1606) was a painting by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (Italian 1571-1610) formerly in the Kaiser Friedrich Museum painting gallery Berlin but destroyed in 1945. The painting’s authenticity has been disputed but it is well attested in the collection of Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani and his brother Cardinal Benedetto Giustiniani its dimensions being virtually identical with those of a Caravaggio of the same subject listed in the Giustiniani inventory.
