Abstract

The article presents a painting by the Viennese painter Josef Kessler that is currently located in the Convent of the Congregation of the Brothers Comforters of Gethsemane (CCG) in Marianka. The large-scale oil painting of notable artistic quality arrived in Marianka in the mid-twentieth century, although it was originally created for the
Jesuit monastery in Bratislava. The article explains the circumstances behind the painting’s origin and its transfer from Bratislava to Marianka. After 1950, the painting was to be part of the collections of the Religious Museum in Marianka, but the museum was never built. The forgotten painting by Kessler survived the communist era and has remained in good condition to this day.
