EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of betrayal as Judas Iscariot receives the infamous thirty pieces of silver. Created in 1640 by Samuel van Hoogstraten, this pen and ink drawing over red chalk on wash portrays a pivotal scene from Christian history. The composition showcases an assembly of priests and Pharisees, their faces etched with disdain and treachery. In the dimly lit room, a golden light illuminates Judas, emphasizing his role as the ultimate sinner. With meticulous detail, Hoogstraten depicts each coin being counted by one of the chief priests while others gather around in anticipation. The artist's masterful use of chiaroscuro adds depth to this haunting image. Shadows cast upon Judas' face hint at his inner turmoil and impending doom. The religious symbolism is palpable; every stroke conveys the weighty consequences that will follow this act of betrayal. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, we are reminded of the timeless themes it represents - greed, deception, redemption, and forgiveness. It serves as a powerful reminder that even within religious orders or among those closest to us lies potential for sin. Displayed here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this Dutch masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its skillful execution and profound narrative. It invites contemplation on our own moral choices while serving as a testament to humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil.
