"No. 31 Scenes from the Life of Christ: 15. The Arrest of Christ (Kiss of Judas)" is a fresco by the Italian master Giotto di Bondone, painted between 1304 and 1306. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy, also known as the Arena Chapel. The series as a whole is considered one of the masterpieces of Western art and a seminal work for the development of Renaissance painting.

The fresco depicting the Arrest of Christ, also commonly referred to as the Kiss of Judas, is a pivotal scene in the cycle, illustrating the moment when Judas Iscariot identifies Jesus to the soldiers by kissing him, leading to Jesus' arrest by the authorities. Giotto's portrayal is noted for its emotional intensity and the dramatic use of chiaroscuro, which was innovative at the time. The composition shows Judas embracing Jesus, with the latter's calm demeanor contrasting with the chaos and violence suggested by the crowded figures of soldiers and disciples around them.

Giotto's work is celebrated for its humanism, a departure from the stylized and symbolic art of the Byzantine tradition that preceded it. In this fresco, Giotto demonstrates his skill in creating three-dimensional space and figures that convey a sense of mass and volume. The artist's use of perspective and his ability to capture human emotion through facial expressions and body language were groundbreaking for the period and had a profound influence on later artists.

The Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, including "The Arrest of Christ," are widely regarded as Giotto's masterwork and are crucial for understanding the evolution of European painting. The frescoes were commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni, a wealthy Paduan banker, as part of a larger project to build and decorate a family chapel. Today, the Scrovegni Chapel is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Giotto's frescoes are considered a treasure of medieval art.
