The Flight of the Apostles; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: His head bowed and his hair scraggly and matted, Christ contends with the unruly mob after his arrest. Many people lay hands on the surrounded prisoner: at the left a man carrying a lantern, whose face registers an almost bestial thirst for blood, rushes forward to get in on the action, while another throws a rope around Christ's neck. At the left, behind the violent frenzy of the foreground, the apostles run off into the darkness. In this miniature, Simon Bening portrayed Christ at his most pathetic, abandoned, and alone.
