"Hours of the Cross Matin and Laudes: The Betrayal by Judas" is an illuminated manuscript page from the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," one of the most famous and luxurious Books of Hours from the Middle Ages. The Très Riches Heures was commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, around 1410 and is renowned for its rich decoration and the high quality of its miniatures. The manuscript contains a collection of prayers to be said at canonical hours and was illustrated by the Limbourg brothers—Paul, Jean, and Herman—until their deaths in 1416. After their passing, the work remained unfinished for several decades until it was taken up again by other artists.

Jacquemart de Hesdin, one of the prominent manuscript illuminators of the early 15th century, is often credited with contributing to the later phases of the Très Riches Heures, although his direct involvement with the manuscript is a subject of scholarly debate due to the lack of concrete evidence linking him to the work. The "Hours of the Cross Matin and Laudes" section of the manuscript includes the "The Betrayal by Judas" miniature, which depicts the moment of Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, an event that is central to the Christian narrative of the Passion of Christ.

The miniature is a vivid representation of the biblical scene, characterized by the dramatic use of light and shadow, meticulous attention to detail, and the emotional expressions of the figures. The use of color and the intricate architectural and natural backgrounds are typical of the International Gothic style, which combines Gothic and Northern Renaissance artistic elements. The "The Betrayal by Judas" is not only a devotional image but also a masterpiece of medieval art, reflecting the religious, cultural, and artistic values of its time.

The Très Riches Heures is housed in the Musée Condé, Chantilly, France, and remains an invaluable resource for the study of medieval art and the devotional practices of the European elite during the late Middle Ages. The "Hours of the Cross Matin and Laudes: The Betrayal by Judas" continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and its role in the history of illuminated manuscripts.
