Produktbeschreibung

... "Here she is!" Alexandra said quietly as we approached Michelangelo da Caravaggio's painting "The Kiss of Judas."

They are frozen forever under the artist's brush: in the foreground, the Teacher, his disciple Judas, and the guards in metal armor and helmets. From the expression on Jesus's face, one could guess that He humbly accepts what is happening and is ready for what is destined for Him from above...

"Pay attention to how expressively the artist depicted the twelfth apostle," said Sasha. "He is all in motion, he is all in a fever, he is in a hurry to do something more than kiss Jesus Christ according to the long-standing tradition."

Autorenporträt

"But a ridge of clouds crowned the horizon,

A migratory flock fell on the stretch of water.

Ends and beginnings of nature were exposed

Something ended, something had already begun...
