Summary/Abstract: The hero of the novel Leonardo’s Judas by Leo Perutz travels to the Renaissance Milan, where Master Leonardo da Vinci is seeking the contemporary incarnation of Judas. However, the writer does not use the claim that Leonardo found Judas, who turned out to be ... Jesus (as a young man was painted as Jesus, but then went down the road of vice and evil, he rolled to the bottom and now his face became the face of Judas). Perutz betrayed the Iscariot describes as an escape from true love, as a prideful fear that wants to love only himself. Pride and greed do not allow Joachim Judas to make his heart truly love.
