EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "The Betrayal of Christ, a captivating 16th-century alabaster sculpture with traces of polychromy and gilding, showcases the profound artistic skill and religious devotion of its unknown creator. This remarkable piece is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it stands as a testament to the enduring power of art. The sculpture depicts the pivotal moment from the New Testament when Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus Christ with a kiss, leading to his crucifixion. The artist masterfully captures the anguish and betrayal on Jesus' face, while also conveying the conflicting emotions experienced by Judas as he carries out this treacherous act. Originally hailing from England, this heritage artwork represents an important part of British artistic history. Its intricate details and lifelike portrayal make it an invaluable contribution to both painting and sculpture in Europe during that era. As viewers stand before this powerful piece, they are transported back through time to witness one of Christianity's most significant events. The spiritual depth conveyed by this work serves as a reminder not only of Jesus' sacrifice but also explores complex themes such as loyalty, faithfulness, and human frailty. This print offers admirers an opportunity to bring home a glimpse into centuries past – a tangible connection to both art history and religious contemplation. "
