# Capture of Christ [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LORENZETTI, Pietro]() - Date: 1301-1350 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The picture shows one of the scenes from the life of Christ painted by Pietro Lorenzetti on the vault of the south arm of the western transept of the Lower Church. It is a scene of great drama and theatrical disposition, with the crowd rushing in from the rocks on the left and apostles fleeing on the opposite side. The moon disappearing behind the rocks is a moving touch. ## Related artworks - [A Female Saint]() - [A Freanciscan Saint]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Beata Umiltà Heals a Sick Nun]() - [Beata Umiltà Transports Bricks to the Monastery]() - [Capture of Christ \(detail\)]() - [Crowned Female Figure]() - [Crucifix \(detail\)]() - [Crucifix \(detail\)]() - [Crucifix \(detail\)]() - [Crucifix]() - [Crucifixion \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
