Jan Joest's "Kiss of Judas" is a late 15th century depiction of the biblical story of Jesus' betrayal. The scene is set at night, with a group of figures gathered around Jesus, one of whom leans in to kiss him. The painting captures the dramatic moment of Jesus' arrest, illuminated by flickering torches and a dark, star-filled sky. Joest's work, characterized by its rich colors and detailed figures, conveys the emotional weight of the scene.
