# Betrayal and Capture of Christ [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SCHONGAUER, Martin]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Engraving, 167 x 117 mm ## Commentary Betrayal and Capture of Christ c. 1480 Engraving, 167 x 117 mm Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, San Francisco Schongauer's interest in the Passion culminated in a series of twelve scenes from the Prayer in the Garden to the Resurrection, which he executed about 1480. The Betrayal and Capture of Christ is typical of the compositions in the cycle with its cramped and crowded foreground pattern of figures. In general he abandoned the rhetoric of Rogier van der Weyden and Dieric Bouts in these prints and turned instead to more Germanic traditions for expressing the pathos and torture by bringing the figures up to the surface. ## Related artworks - [A Foolish Virgin]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Annunciate Angel]() - [Annunciate Madonna]() - [Apprentices Fighting]() - [Carrying the Cross]() - [Censer]() - [Christ on the Cross with Four Angels]() - [Elephant]() - [Entombment]() - [Madonna and Child in a Rose Arbour]() - [Madonna and Child in the Couryard]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
