EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Bong, titled "Judas Iscariot Betrays Jesus to the Chief Priests," is a poignant depiction of one of the most infamous moments in Christian history. Dating back to the 19th century, this image was published by La Ilustracion Artistica in 1888, showcasing exquisite detail and vibrant colors. Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, is portrayed in the foreground, clad in the robes of the time, with an expression of guilt and remorse etched on his face. In his hand, he holds a small pouch, filled with thirty silver coins - the gratification he received for betraying his Master. The background of the engraving is a chaotic scene, with the chief Sanhedrin priests closing in on Jesus, who stands calmly amidst the turmoil, surrounded by his remaining apostles. The betrayer's treasonous act had set in motion the events that would ultimately lead to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Judas Iscariot, a quisling and traitor, is often remembered as the personage who sold his faith and his Master for a paltry sum of money. This engraving serves as a stark reminder of the destructive power of greed and the consequences of treason, making it a significant piece in the annals of Christian history and the New Testament. The intricate details and rich colors of this 19th-century engraving by Bong, published by La Ilustracion Artistica, continue to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and the complexities of human nature.
