The Kiss of Judas (Grey Passion-2) 1500

Hans Holbein the Elder's "The Kiss of Judas (Grey Passion-2)" from 1500 depicts the dramatic moment of Christ's betrayal. The scene is characterized by the intense emotions of the figures, particularly Judas's treacherous act. Holbein, a master of Northern Renaissance art, employs meticulous detail and a realistic style to portray the scene. The painting, now housed in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, is a powerful example of religious art and a testament to Holbein's skill in conveying both the physical and spiritual aspects of the biblical narrative.
