Betrayal of Jesus

This painting belong to the late medieval art, it was painted by Duccio Buoninsegna, with its detail at the back of the Maesta altar piece. It is done on Tempera and gold leaf on wood.
     I like this painting because compared to other paintings in its era, there is a lot of motion and emotion on each and every character in the painting. This painting tells the story of how Jesus was betrayed, and the artist managed very well to put the sequence of events and emotions in one picture, and his use of colors and lines really helped in distinguishing each events from eachother.
