Mors Christi
Mors Christi is latin for the death of Christ. It is in latin because it's a very Catholic image. Inspired by a vision, this painting shows the moment of Christ's total defeat when He died on the cross but it has turned into a tree. I'm not sure but I think the tree represents the tree of life. The world convulses around Him in apocalyptic distress, with lightning strikes and fires in the distance. The serpent from the garden of Eden throws itself into convulsions in front of him. Is it conflicted or in a state of gleeful paroxysm? I don't know. This painting now belongs to the Carmelite Priory at Boars Hill in Oxford.
