オーブリー・ビアズリー ≪ユダの接吻≫ 1899年初版 『ペール・メール・マガジン』発表作より
本作≪ユダの接吻（The Kiss of Judas）≫は、1893年に英国の雑誌『ペール・メール・マガジン（Pall Mall Magazine）』に掲載された作品で、ビアズリーが代表作『サロメ』を手がける以前の初期傑作のひとつです。
背景には糸杉が点在し、簡素で象徴的な風景のなか、黒衣の女性にしがみつくように口づけを求める裸の男──
その名が示すように、この場面は聖書の物語「裏切りの接吻」を、官能性と冷酷さの入り混じる寓意として再構成したものと考えられます。
一見しただけでは宗教画とも恋愛画ともとれるこの構図に、ビアズリーは大胆な余白と装飾線をもって静かな緊張感を与え、当時の読者に深い印象を残しました。
大胆な構図と象徴主義的手法によって、後の『サロメ』に通じる退廃と背徳の美がすでに芽生えていることがうかがえます。
ビアズリーが1898年に亡くなった後、代表作『サロメ』などを刊行したジョン・レーン社によって1899年に制作された初版追悼画集に本作は収録されました。
当時に制作されたオリジナルのアンティーク版画です。

Natural fading and stains may appear over time, but these are also proof of the era the piece has passed through and are elements that convey the texture of the materials and techniques used to create it.
