This 15th-century enamel plaque, "Plaque with The Betrayal of Christ", by Monvaerni, depicts the dramatic moment of Jesus' betrayal by Judas. The scene is rich in detail, with numerous figures and a starry night sky, and the use of vibrant colors, particularly the blue background, creates a visually arresting impact. The plaque, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, demonstrates the skillful use of enamelwork, a technique that was popular in the 15th century, often applied to religious imagery.
