The Thirty Pieces of Silver is a 1909 oil by János Pentelei Molnár, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows a group of men gathered around a table, with one man standing and the others seated. The standing man is dressed in a green robe, while the seated men wear various colored robes. The men are engaged in a discussion, with some looking at the standing man and others gazing downward. The table is illuminated, and the background is dark, creating a sense of depth and contrast. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
