EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Ms Gr 54 f. 99 The Kiss of Judas" by the French School in the 13th century. Measuring at 33.5x25 cm, this vellum masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image depicts a pivotal moment from biblical history - the infamous betrayal of Jesus Christ by his disciple, Judas Iscariot. In this scene, Judas leans forward to kiss Jesus on the cheek while soldiers and disciples surround them in the Garden of Gethsemane. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient manuscript to life. The illuminated figures seem to leap off the page as they convey a range of emotions - from anguish and treachery to confusion and loyalty. Notably, one soldier can be seen holding a severed ear, symbolizing an act of violence against one of high priest's servants during this tumultuous event. This photograph not only captures a significant religious narrative but also highlights the exceptional craftsmanship that went into creating such manuscripts centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time, marveling at its beauty and contemplating its profound meaning within both art history and religious iconography.
