The Betrayal of Christ
oil on canvas (133 × 169 cm) — c. 1603
National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin
This work is linked to Luke 22:48
Jesus' face expresses both resignation and pain. He knows what is about to happen to him. Note how he holds his hands. Judas Iscariot greets him with a kiss, so the soldiers know whom to capture.
To better see the face, it is illuminated by a lantern. The man holding the light is Caravaggio himself.
Breaking a rule of his craft, Caravaggio started this painting on a dark ground. The typical composition with the soldier stretching his arm was derived from an Albrecht Dürer woodcut.
The painting was commissioned by Ciriaco Mattei, a brother of Caravaggio's patron, Cardinal Mattei. Around 1800 the Mattei family sold it, erroneously attributing it to the Dutch master Gerard van Honthorst. It was rediscovered as a Caravaggio in 1990 while hanging in a Jesuit home in Dublin, Ireland.
Anthony Van Dyck 1599 – 1641
Jesus captured
oil on canvas (344 × 249 cm) — 1618-20
This work is linked to Luke 22:48
This painting by Van Dyck, then 20 years old, shows the moment Judas betrayes his master by kissing him. That way he pointed out to the Roman soldiers which one in the group was Jesus. In the midst of all the turbulence Jesus stays remarkably calm.
At the time of creation of this work Van Dyck was probably already an assistent of the great Rubens, whose influence can be seen in the muscular figures.
