"The Kiss of Judas" is a notable illumination by the French artist Jean Colombe, created in the late 15th century. Colombe, renowned for his intricate and detailed manuscript illuminations, was active during the latter part of the Gothic era, a period that saw a flourishing of manuscript art in Europe. This particular work is part of a larger collection of illuminations that Colombe produced for the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," a book of hours commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, and originally started by the Limbourg brothers.

The illumination depicts the biblical scene of Judas Iscariot betraying Jesus Christ with a kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane, an event that leads to Jesus' arrest and subsequent crucifixion. This moment is a pivotal one in the Christian narrative and has been a subject of artistic representation for centuries. Colombe's rendition is characterized by the intricate detailing and rich colors typical of his work, as well as the expressive figures that convey the emotional intensity of the scene.

Jean Colombe's "The Kiss of Judas" is housed within the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, along with the rest of the "Très Riches Heures" manuscript. The work is considered an important example of late medieval illumination and contributes to our understanding of European art and religious culture during this period. It remains an object of study for art historians and a testament to the skill and religious devotion that characterized the work of medieval manuscript illuminators.
