Judas Iscariot, (died c. 30/33 CE) commonly referred to simply as Judas, was one of the disciples of Jesus Christ and would later go on to betray him. Judas' name would eventually become synonymous with betrayal itself.[1]
Biography
Judas was among the participants of The Last Supper.[2]
Legacy and influence
Circa 1560, the Spanish Renaissance painter Juan de Joanes created a oil on panel depiction of the Last Supper where Judas was pictured on the front right holding a money pouch signifying his betrayal.[3]
In 1710, Richard Welton, the rector of St. Mary Matfelon commissioned an altarpiece by James Fellowes depicting The Last Supper, and had White Kennett, the Dean of Peterborough and a personal enemy drawn as Judas in an act of passive aggression.[2]
