The Arrest of Jesus

17th century?
Oratorio delle Cinque Piaghe, Urbino, Italy

Unlike the typical view of Judas's kiss and the servant's ear, this painting shows the soldiers leading Jesus out of the garden. The man on the left holds one of the lanterns mentioned in John 18:3.

The basis of my guess as to the date is that construction of the Oratorio itself began in 1617.
