Atlantic Concepts Condemned Eternity Hell Jesus Judas Spend Westward Brendan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image depicts Saint Brendan the Navigator, a renowned Irish monk and explorer, as he sails westward across the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. According to legend, during one of his voyages, Saint Brendan and his crew are said to have encountered a rock in the middle of the sea where the infamous Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus, was condemned to spend eternity. Judas, clad in tattered robes and with an expression of deep regret and sorrow, is shown kneeling before a cross, as Jesus appears before him in a vision, reproaching him for his betrayal. The scene is filled with a sense of otherworldly isolation and despair, as the endless ocean stretches out behind them, offering no respite or escape. This powerful and evocative image is a testament to the enduring nature of religious mythology and the human fascination with the unknown. The story of Saint Brendan's encounter with Judas has been passed down through the centuries, inspiring countless works of art and literature. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of betrayal and the eternal nature of sin, as well as the power of forgiveness and redemption. The intricate details of the print, from the textured waves to the intricately rendered robes and facial expressions, transport the viewer to another time and place, immersing them in the rich history and symbolism of this fascinating tale.
