EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the Gospel of Matthew - Jesus' betrayal by Judas Iscariot. Illustrated by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, a renowned artist of the nineteenth century, this tinted drawing brings to life the dramatic scene described in chapter XXVI verses 48-50. Intriguingly, the image depicts Judas giving his conspirators a sign: "Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast". And so it happens - with an air of deceit masked behind his friendly greeting, Judas approaches Jesus and kisses him. The tension is palpable as Jesus addresses him as "Friend" and questions his motives for coming. The composition skillfully portrays both the vulnerability of Jesus and the treachery of Judas. As they engage in this fateful encounter, their contrasting emotions are beautifully conveyed through Schnorr von Carolsfeld's artistic style. This illustration from Bibel in Bildern serves not only as a visual representation but also invites contemplation on themes such as loyalty, trustworthiness, and human frailty. It reminds us of the profound religious significance embedded within biblical narratives. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back to antiquity and reminded once again of the enduring power and influence that religious literature holds over our collective imagination.
