Judas Kiss Recovered

Caravaggio - The Taking of Christ (ca 1598)Remember the confusion over the graphics depicting Caravaggio's The Taking of Christ, sometimes called The Kiss of Judas, following the theft of a version from Odessa's Museum of Western and Eastern Art last July (CLICK)? ArtDaily reports good news from ZĂ©rkalo nedeli that the stolen Odessa version has been recovered by police (title link). Confusion over the date of the painting (anywhere between 1573 to 1602) may well arise from the existence of two versions. The above graphic shows the Odessa version. ArtDaily shows the Irish one.
