EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in biblical history - "The kiss of Judas and the capture of Jesus" from Duccio di Buoninsegna's Maesta altarpiece. Painted between 1308-1311, this masterpiece showcases the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this scene, we witness the betrayal of Jesus by one of his own disciples, Judas Iscariot. The composition is filled with emotion as Judas leans in to kiss Jesus on the cheek, signifying his identification for the soldiers who have come to arrest him. The golden background adds an ethereal quality to the painting, emphasizing its sacred nature. Duccio di Buoninsegna's use of tempera on wood brings out vibrant colors and intricate textures that make every element come alive. The figures are depicted with great realism and expressiveness, allowing us to connect deeply with their emotions. Displayed at Museo dell Opera del Duomo in Siena, Italy, this artwork holds immense historical and religious significance. It transports viewers back to a time when faith played a central role in people's lives. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this iconic piece through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This print serves as a testament to both Duccio di Buoninsegna's artistic genius and Ricciarini's ability to capture art in all its glory.
