The Betrayal of Christ
Duccio di Buoningsegna's The Betrayal of Christ depicts the capture of Jesus very clearly. There is no question as to what this particular painting is about. Judas is giving Jesus a kiss on the cheek to signify the guards which one he is and the disciples are running away. Christ is very easily spotted in the picture. Besides the kiss of Judas, Christ is in the center, he has a halo, and his robes are a blackish-blue color that completely contrasts the colors of His captors.
