1490
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Betrayal is a 1490 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man in the center, wearing a long robe and a halo. He's surrounded by five men, some of whom are holding him down or kissing him. The man in the center looks sad and worried. The painting is done in simple colors like blue, green, and yellow. One interesting detail is that the man in the center has a halo, which is usually a sign of being special or holy. The painting also has a simple, blocky style that was common in woodcuts during the Renaissance.

This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
