Caravaggio's painting 'The Kiss of Judas' depicts a theatrical scene where, in the evening after prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, a guard approached Christ. They did not know whom they had come to arrest. Christ's disciple taught them that the one he would kiss as a sign of offering (respect) was the one the guards had come for. Caravaggio showed the moment when Judas reached out his lips to the Teacher, and the guard understood whom to seize. The sharp lighting from the left added a sense of alarm and tragedy to the theme. Despair reigned in the silent painting, where the tragic event was understood by the one frantically screaming in green attire—and Christ himself. Caravaggio's style, oil on canvas, cinematic lighting
An oil painting depicting the Arrest of Christ in a tenebristic style reminiscent of Caravaggio. In the center, Judas Iscariot, a man with a dark beard and dirty-blonde hair, dressed in a golden vest over a golden shirt with a red cloth draped over his arm, leans in to kiss Jesus Christ on the cheek. Jesus, with long dark brown hair and a beard, is dressed in a red tunic over a blue garment, and looks calmly towards the viewer. His right hand is holding onto Judas's arm. Behind Jesus and to the right, a man in full golden armor, wearing a golden helmet, looks on with a stern expression, as does another armored figure partially visible behind the first. To the left, a man with wispy dark-brown hair and a beard, wearing a green tunic over a yellowish shirt, opens his mouth in a scream of alarm, looking towards the action. He holds a slender, dark object in his right hand. A bright, fiery light source emanates from the top left, illuminating the faces of the figures in stark contrast to the dark background. The scene is chaotic yet intensely focused on the central figures.
