Master of the Munich Arrest of Christ
Master of the Munich Arrest of Christ is a Northern Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Alte Pinakothek.
This anonymous Brabant painter from the late 1400s made small, intense religious scenes. The Arrest of Christ with the kiss of Judas shows torchlight flickering on the faces of Christ and Judas, while Malchus’s severed ear glints in the foreground. Look closer at the way the figures huddle around the action—it feels like a moment frozen in a crowded room. Tap to see how the artist framed the betrayal in oil paint and gold leaf.
