Arguably the most famous image from the Scrovegni chapel frescoes, the Kiss of Judas by Giotto (1305) captures the pinnacle moment in the Passion of Christ. With movie-like intensity, Giotto captures both the movement and chaotic emotions of the crowd. The stand-out detail of the work, the actual kiss between Jesus and Judas, has inspired artists for years in many forms of visual media such as painting, sculpture, film, and television.
