The Betrayal of Christ, c.1460, Tempera colors, gold leaf, and ink on parchment

Vrelant's Illuminated Manuscript illustrates Judas as he signals to the soldiers the identity of Jesus by approaching from behind to kiss Christ, who then seizes the stationary Christ, who projects a passive mood of calm acceptance while contrasting with the swift movements of the soldiers. (Additional Willem Vrelant Illuminations are available upon request).
