Dürer employs his mastery of the burin to create a scene of high tension and physical conflict. The composition is crowded, focusing on the central struggle where Judas Iscariot embraces Jesus, signalling his identity to the soldiers. The surrounding figures are rendered with sharp, precise lines that define the folds of their garments and the textures of their armour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the foreground, a soldier is shown in a dynamic, contorted pose, his face twisted in aggression. Dürer uses cross-hatching to build volume and shadow, creating a sense of three-dimensional form that was characteristic of his mature work. The background features a torch held aloft, providing a source of light that cuts through the darkness, while spears and halberds rise above the heads of the crowd, adding to the chaotic atmosphere. In the distance, a small figure flees, a detail that adds a sense of narrative depth to the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is part of Dürer's series on the Passion, demonstrating his ability to convey human emotion and dramatic action within the constraints of the copper plate. The artist's monogram and the date are visible on a tablet at the bottom centre, a hallmark of his professional practice. The print reflects the technical rigour of the Northern Renaissance, where the clarity of line and the precision of detail were paramount. The viewer is presented with a scene that balances the theological weight of the subject with the visceral reality of human conflict, captured through the exacting medium of engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/christ-carrying-the-cross-martin-schongauer-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eChrist Carrying the Cross by Martin Schongauer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-flagellation-of-christ-lucas-cranach-the-elder\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Flagellation of Christ by Lucas Cranach the Elder\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/albrecht-durer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAlbrecht Dürer prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Albrecht Dürer","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475172327759,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475172393295,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475172491599,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475172524367,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475172589903,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Betrayal-of-Christ_Poster_CompositorV1_1794409583170.jpg?v=1794446401","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/betrayal-of-christ-albrecht-durer","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
