St. Cuthbert with Otters
St. Cuthbert, the Wonderworker of Northumbria, is a remarkable figure known for his piety and solitude. Living from 634 to 687 A.D. as the Bishop of Lindesfarne, he often withdrew to the small, desolate Inner Farne island, where he cultivated grains and dedicated countless hours to prayer in the chilling sea at night. His deep connection with nature is illustrated by the extraordinary accounts of otters who would gather around him, tending to his cold feet with their warmth as he emerged from the waters. This painting captures the serene yet profound essence of St. Cuthbert's life, embodying his unwavering faith and the unique bond he shared with the natural world. Inspired by the strength and devotion of this saintly man, the artwork reflects both his toughness and his profound spirituality.
This oil painting is twenty-four by thirty inches and on gallery-wrapped canvas.
