EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Passion: The Betrayal of Christ" an engraving created by the talented Flemish artist Hieronymus Wierix between 1553 and 1619. The piece, now housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art, is a testament to Wierix's mastery of his craft during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. "The Passion: The Betrayal of Christ" depicts a pivotal moment in Christian history, capturing the heart-wrenching betrayal of Jesus by one of his own disciples, Judas Iscariot. With intricate details and expert use of light and shadow, Wierix brings this dramatic scene to life on paper. The engraving portrays Jesus standing tall amidst a group of figures, each expressing their emotions differently. His serene face contrasts with Judas' remorseful countenance as he leans forward to kiss Jesus' cheek—a sign that would ultimately lead to Christ's crucifixion. Wierix's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the folds in the garments worn by each character to their expressive gestures, he creates a sense of realism that draws viewers into this poignant moment. This print serves as both a visual masterpiece and an important historical artifact that allows us to reflect upon themes such as loyalty, forgiveness, and sacrifice. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving this remarkable artwork through their high-quality photo print. It offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate Wierix's talent while also honoring Flem
