“In Canavesio’s vivid fifteenth-century mural in Notre Dame des Fontaines in La Brigue, France, we witness Judas hanging from an olive tree after the betrayal of Jesus. While a demon is shown extracting a miniature replica of Judas from the entrails of the suspended body of the betrayer — epitomising the eternal recurrence of the same — the olive tree symbolises the tree of the crucifix from which Jesus simultaneously hangs in redemptive death, holding out the offer of pardon and salvation to Judas. The fact that Judas’ entrails are depicted in the form of a Ourobouros further highlights the plight of endless circular return from which the redemptive grace of Christ promises to deliver the sinner.” — Richard Kearney.
