1632
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Martyrdom of the Apostles: The Death of Judas is a 1632 by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a chaotic crowd under a tree and a building. A man is hanging from a rope, swaying above the ground. Others point, whisper, or look away—some seem shocked, others curious. The scene feels tense, with twisted branches and rough lines everywhere. The title at the bottom hints this is about a famous betrayal. The artist used sharp contrasts between light and dark to make the drama pop. Want to see more?
