"The Kiss of Judas" is a notable woodcut by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the late 15th or early 16th century, specifically around 1508-1509, as part of his larger series known as the "Small Passion." Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), a leading figure of the Northern Renaissance, was renowned for his advancements in printmaking, which allowed for the broader dissemination of his works. The "Small Passion" comprises 37 woodcuts that depict various scenes from the life and death of Jesus Christ, offering a comprehensive narrative of Christian passion history.

"The Kiss of Judas" illustrates the biblical scene of betrayal from the Gospel, where Judas Iscariot identifies Jesus to the soldiers by kissing him in the Garden of Gethsemane. This moment is pivotal in the Christian narrative, leading directly to the arrest and subsequent crucifixion of Jesus. Dürer's rendition is remarkable for its emotional depth and intricate detail, characteristics that define much of his work. The composition effectively conveys the tension and drama of the scene, with the figures of Jesus and Judas centrally positioned, surrounded by a tumultuous crowd, capturing the moment of betrayal with a profound sense of immediacy and dynamism.

Dürer's technical mastery in woodcutting is evident in the fine lines and complex textures that bring this scene to life, showcasing his ability to achieve remarkable detail and shading in this challenging medium. "The Kiss of Judas" not only exemplifies Dürer's skill as a printmaker but also reflects the artist's deep engagement with religious themes, characteristic of much of his oeuvre. Through works like this, Dürer played a crucial role in the development of the woodcut as a serious and sophisticated medium for artistic expression during the Renaissance.

This woodcut, like others in the "Small Passion" series, was widely circulated, contributing to Dürer's fame both within and beyond his native Germany. It remains an important work for the study of Renaissance art and printmaking, offering insights into the religious, cultural, and technological contexts of its time. "The Kiss of Judas" continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its profound impact on the visual representation of biblical narratives.
