A Wikipedia article on Judas Iscariot, recording that in paintings depicting the Last Supper he is occasionally shown with a dark colored halo contrasting the lighter halos of the other apostles, or more commonly with none at all, and that he became the archetype of the traitor in Western art and literature, appearing in virtually all works depicting the Passion story.

Reliability Tier3
A crowd-edited tertiary reference, used here to confirm Judas's conventional integration into Last Supper and Passion narrative art rather than isolated portraiture; independently corroborated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's own open-access API tags naming him a depicted figure on an actual circa 1350 ivory diptych.
