Leaf from a Book of Hours: The Betrayal of Christ

Maître François

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a page from a book with an illustration; the illustration shows Jesus Christ being betrayed. Jesus wears a yellow robe and a red sash; he faces right and places his left hand on the chest of another man. The man has a halo and wears a blue robe and gold sash; he faces Jesus. To Jesus's right are eight men; seven of them wear helmets and armor; one of the men kneels. The background shows a blue sky, with buildings and a mountain on the horizon; there is a torch on a pole. The border around the illustration is ornate; the top features a plant with red berries; the rest is white with blue, green, and gold foliage. Under the illustration are two columns of black text; gold decorations are in the bottom-left corner and on either side of the text.
