"Judas Sells Jesus for Thirty Pieces of Silver."

This is a fresco, a mural painting executed upon freshly laid lime plaster. Water is used as the vehicle for the dry-powder pigment to merge with the plaster, and with the setting of the plaster, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall

The scene of the Betrayal of Judas is located in the first by of the north aisle of the Collegiata, San Gimignano. In the payment of the silver to Judas, a minor scene in the fresco cycle by Simone Martini in the St Martin Chapel of the Lower Church, San Francesco, Assisi, is echoed directly.
