EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautifully illustrated antique engraving takes us back to the 16th century, capturing St. Brandan's Celebration of the Holy Mass on the back of a whale. The intricate details and Victorian style bring this historical moment to life, showcasing European culture and religious practices during that era. The image depicts a scene filled with exploration and spirituality, as men aboard a sailing ship receive blessings during their journey. Clad in period costumes, they gather around an altar set upon the massive creature's back, engaging in prayer and devotion. The print evokes a sense of wonder and discovery as it transports us to a time when maps were still being charted and nautical vessels sailed uncharted waters. It highlights both the military ships present in the background and Viking influences seen through rowing techniques. In this black-and-white engraving, we witness history unfolding before our eyes - from St. Brandan's celebration to Irish culture intertwining with religion. The vastness of the sea serves as a backdrop for this extraordinary event, reminding us of humanity's enduring quest for direction and spiritual enlightenment. Digitally restored from an original edition published in 1893 by Kristofer Columbus himself, this artwork captures not only an important historical moment but also showcases the talent of artists from centuries past. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece, we are reminded of how art can transcend time itself.
