"Le Baiser de Judas" (The Kiss of Judas) is a notable painting by the French Baroque artist Trophime Bigot, also known as the Master of the Candlelight. Bigot, who was active during the early 17th century, is renowned for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his skillful depiction of candlelit scenes. This particular work, which dates from around 1620 to 1630, captures the pivotal biblical moment of betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Judas Iscariot identifies Jesus Christ to the Roman soldiers by giving him a kiss.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by its stark contrasts of light and shadow, a technique that enhances the emotional intensity of the scene. Bigot's mastery of tenebrism—a style that uses extreme darks juxtaposed with intensely illuminated areas—draws the viewer's attention to the central figures of Jesus and Judas. The composition is such that the faces of the characters are illuminated, highlighting the expressions of betrayal and sorrow, while the surrounding figures are shrouded in darkness, adding to the drama of the narrative.

"Le Baiser de Judas" is a significant example of Bigot's work and contributes to our understanding of the Caravaggesque movement, which was spreading throughout Europe at the time. The painting's provenance and current location, however, are not well-documented in public records, and its history remains somewhat obscure. Despite this, the work is an important piece within Bigot's oeuvre and offers insight into the religious and artistic sensibilities of the Counter-Reformation period.

As an artist, Trophime Bigot's life and works have been the subject of scholarly research, though some aspects remain enigmatic, leading to a degree of speculation regarding attribution of his paintings. "Le Baiser de Judas" stands as a testament to his artistic legacy and his ability to convey complex human emotions through the interplay of light and shadow.
