The scene captures the moment Judas Iscariot approaches the high priests to negotiate the surrender of Jesus. The composition is typical of early sixteenth-century book illustration, where the narrative is condensed into a single, legible frame. The figures are rendered with clear, bold outlines, a necessity for the woodblock medium, and are dressed in garments that reflect the contemporary fashion of the period rather than historical accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of hand-applied colour adds a layer of visual interest to the print. The palette is restrained, relying on primary and secondary tones to distinguish the figures from the architectural background. The brickwork of the wall and the arched doorway provide a sense of place, grounding the interaction within a defined interior space. The letter 'a' at the bottom of the print indicates its origin as a page from a larger printed volume, likely a devotional book or a chronicle of the life of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoen Pietersz. was active in Amsterdam during the early sixteenth century, a period when the production of printed books began to flourish in the Low Countries. His work often combined religious subject matter with the technical constraints of woodblock printing. This print demonstrates the functional nature of such illustrations, which were designed to aid the reader in visualising the text. The stark contrast between the figures and the background, combined with the expressive gestures of the participants, ensures the narrative remains the primary focus. This piece offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the Northern Renaissance, where the dissemination of religious imagery through print became a common practice for both education and private devotion.\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=\"\/products\/nadab-and-abihu-consumed-by-fire-veit-rudolf-specklin\" 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;\"\u003eNadab and Abihu Consumed by Fire - Veit Rudolf Specklin — Veit Rudolf Specklin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-destruction-of-sodom-reverse-of-madonna-and-child-albrecht-durer\" 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 Destruction of Sodom (Reverse of Madonna and Child) - Albrecht Dürer — Albrecht Dürer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doen Pietersz.","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58596239966543,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58596258152783,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58596258185551,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58596258218319,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58596258251087,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58596258283855,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58596258316623,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58596258349391,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58596258382159,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58596258414927,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58596258447695,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58596258480463,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Verraad-van-Judas_Poster_CompositorV1_1787966896987.jpg?v=1787967696","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/verraad-van-judas-doen-pietersz","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
