EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of "The Kiss of Judas and the Arrest of Christ" by Vicente Martin Basabe. The wood carving, displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Pau, France, depicts a scene from biblical history that is filled with treachery and betrayal. In this intricate relief sculpture, we see a garden setting where Jesus Christ is embraced by one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot. However, behind this seemingly affectionate act lies an act of ultimate betrayal. A Roman soldier stands nearby with a sword in hand, ready to arrest Jesus at the command of the religious authorities. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element carved into the wooden surface. The trees surrounding the scene create a sense of isolation and impending doom. Each disciple is uniquely identified through their appearance and gestures - some are armed with weapons while others blow horns as they witness this shocking event unfold. "The Kiss of Judas and the Arrest of Christ" serves as a powerful reminder not only of human frailty but also highlights themes such as loyalty, trustworthiness, and deception. It prompts viewers to reflect on their own capacity for both faithfulness and duplicity. Through this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most significant moments – when love was betrayed amidst shadows cast by ancient trees.
