"Capture of Christ, Judas Kiss and Peter, the servant Malchus an ear off" is a fresco by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes created by Fra Angelico in the 1440s for the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy. The fresco depicts three simultaneous events from the New Testament accounts of the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, as described in the Gospels.

The scene captures the dramatic moment of the betrayal of Christ by Judas Iscariot, who identifies Jesus to the arresting soldiers with a kiss, an act that has become known as the Judas Kiss. This central event is flanked by the impulsive reaction of Saint Peter, who, in an attempt to protect Jesus, draws his sword and cuts off the ear of Malchus, a servant of the high priest. The fresco is noted for its emotional intensity and the skillful depiction of the narrative, which reflects Fra Angelico's mastery in conveying theological themes through art.

Fra Angelico's work is characterized by its delicate use of color and light, and the "Capture of Christ" fresco is no exception. The artist's ability to blend devotional imagery with the human drama is evident in the expressions and gestures of the figures, which convey a sense of piety and pathos. The fresco is a significant example of Fra Angelico's contribution to the development of Renaissance art and his influence on the use of perspective and the portrayal of religious subjects with a new sense of realism.

As a Dominican friar, Fra Angelico's work was deeply informed by his religious life, and his frescoes at the Convent of San Marco are considered some of his most important and spiritually resonant works. The "Capture of Christ" fresco remains an important piece of religious art and a testament to Fra Angelico's enduring legacy as a painter of the Italian Renaissance.
