The Betrayal of Christ

Valerio Belli

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular relief depicting a scene with multiple figures engaged in various movements. Some figures embrace or grapple, while others raise arms and hold objects like a banner. The figures have intricately carved facial features and garments. The sculpture is bronze in color, suggesting it is made from bronze or has a bronze finish. The surface shines, highlighting the raised details. The circular form resembles a medallion or large coin and contains inscriptions along the bottom edge.
