From Juan de Juanes to Sascha Schneider, these artworks shed light on this biblical character's role in the events leading up to Christ's crucifixion. In "The Last Supper" by Juan de Juanes, painted around 1507-1579, Judas sits among the disciples as tension fills the air. His face reveals a hint of treachery, foreshadowing his ultimate act. Similarly, in Karl Alexander Schneider's haunting portrayal from 1923, Judas appears tormented and conflicted.

From Pieter Paul Rubens' masterpiece from 1631-1632 to Giorgio Vasari's rendition from c. 1540, "The Last Supper" showcases Judas seated alongside Jesus and other disciples at this fateful meal. Their compositions emphasize both unity and impending doom. Eugene Delacroix's powerful depiction from 1826 portrays Christ praying fervently while Judas lurks in darkness nearby. This painting highlights the contrast between divine strength and human weakness. These artworks not only depict historical events but also explore deeper themes of betrayal and redemption that resonate across centuries. They invite viewers to reflect on their own moral choices and contemplate how one man’s actions can shape destiny itself - forever immortalizing Judas Iscariot within art’s enduring narrative.
