Hi Violet. Thanks for reading my article, and for your comment. I hope you didn't interpret my article as suggesting that Judas didn't *deserve* a halo. I'm not any sort of religious authority who could come anywhere near weighing in on that question. It is the case, however, that in art history Judas is extremely unlikely to be depicted with a halo. There are surely exceptions to every rule, but the argument being made here, that Judas isn't present in this particular picture, is an aesthetic, rather than a theological argument. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
