EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Dürer's iconic engraving, "The Arrest of Christ" created in 1508. The image depicts the dramatic moment when Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus by kissing him in the Garden of Gethsemane, ultimately leading to his arrest by the Temple Guards of Sanhedrin. In this scene, Simon Peter can be seen brandishing a sword against Malchus, one of the guards. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail and masterful technique are evident in this small but powerful artwork measuring just 11.8x7.5 cm. The monochrome composition captures the intensity and emotion surrounding this pivotal event from the New Testament. The German Renaissance artist skillfully portrays both physical conflict and spiritual turmoil through his use of light and shadow. Soldiers armed with swords, spears, torches, clubs confront each other as they clash with Jesus' disciples and apostles. "The Arrest of Christ" serves as a profound reminder of betrayal and sacrifice within Christian theology while highlighting Dürer's artistic brilliance during the Northern Renaissance period. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this timeless masterpiece through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate details even more intimately. This print is part of a private collection that cherishes religious artistry from centuries past.
