EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Duccio di Buoninsegna's masterpiece, "The betrayal of Judas". The Maesta altarpiece, created between 1308 and 1311, showcases the artist's exceptional talent in tempera and gold on wood. Housed at the Museo dell Opera del Duomo in Siena, Italy, this painting is a testament to religious art during the trecento period. In this particular scene from the altarpiece, we witness one of history's most infamous betrayals - that of Judas Iscariot. With a golden background illuminating his figure, Judas stands out amidst a group of apostles. His aureole symbolizes his divine status as an apostle despite his impending act of treason. Duccio di Buoninsegna masterfully portrays human emotions through paint. The anguish on Christ's face and the disbelief on Peter's are palpable even through this photo print. This biblical scene serves as a reminder of greed and its consequences; it highlights how money can corrupt even those closest to us. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every detail with her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate not only Duccio di Buoninsegna's artistic prowess but also Ricciarini's own talent as a photographer. This image transports us back to the Middle Ages when religion played an integral role in society and art was used as a medium for storytelling. As we gaze upon
