EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history - "The Betrayal of Christ" from the renowned series "The Passion of Christ" by Hendrik Goltzius. Created in 1598, this engraving depicts the dramatic scene where Jesus is betrayed by Judas Iscariot in the Garden of Gethsemane. In this arresting image, we witness the intense emotions and turmoil that surround Jesus as he faces his ultimate betrayal. The dark night engulfs the garden, illuminated only by flickering torches held by soldiers who have come to arrest him. A flaming torch casts an eerie glow on Judas as he leans forward to kiss Jesus, sealing his treacherous act. Goltzius masterfully captures every detail, conveying a sense of tension and conflict through intricate lines and shading. The composition draws our attention to Jesus at the center, emphasizing his calm demeanor amidst chaos. This portrayal invites contemplation on themes of faith, loyalty, and human frailty. As we gaze upon this historic artwork preserved at The Met museum, we are transported back in time to witness one of Christianity's most significant moments. It serves as a reminder that even in times of darkness and betrayal, there is hope for redemption and forgiveness. Hendrik Goltzius' "The Betrayal of Christ" continues to be a testament to his artistic genius while offering viewers an opportunity for introspection into their own beliefs and values.
