EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the dramatic moment of betrayal as depicted in Matthew 26.9, where Judas betrays Christ with a kiss. Illustrated by the renowned French painter and illustrator Gustave Dore (1832-1883), this wood engraving is part of his iconic work for The Bible (London 1866). Dore's intricate detailing brings to life the emotional turmoil and treachery that unfolds in this biblical scene. The composition skillfully portrays Judas leaning towards Jesus, their faces locked together in an intimate embrace that masks the sinister intentions behind it. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, Dore creates a sense of tension and impending doom. The illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities within human nature and highlights themes of loyalty, deception, and sacrifice found throughout Christian teachings. It prompts viewers to reflect on their own actions and choices while contemplating the consequences they may have on others. As one gazes upon this thought-provoking image, it becomes evident why Dore's illustrations continue to captivate audiences even today. His ability to convey profound emotions through art transcends time and speaks directly to our souls
