Most horrifying painting of jesus. Ever

[Justtristo]

I'm not sure what the deal this painting but holy it is worse then saw. Jesus literally has a dude coming out if open wound in his side to give buddy (Possibly himself) a cup of his own blood. HOLY SHIT. Not te mention the the dudes in the corner. Bottom left dude looks like he is jerking it, bottom right dude is caught in some sick fascination, top left dude is asleep, and top right is praying?.

This is fucked up stuff.

Medieval and early Modern westerners were far from puritans, despite what the church preached about sex. It is quite obvious in the sort of art work which appears in say for example prayer and psalm books, not to mention some of them put images carvings of naked women (Sheela na gig's) displaying an exaggerated vulva on churches and castles.

It could mean something like the Christ being born from the death of the old self, to the new self, just as Eve was born from the side of Adams rib ?.

I would agree with you, given that Jesus often equated in Christian theology as the Last Adam.
