Biblical Cosmology Wall Art

Firmament diagrams, Genesis prints, and sacred cosmological plates drawn from Scripture, ancient Hebrew cosmology, and the older Christian visual record.

The Waters Above — Biblical Cosmology Framed Poster
from $44.36
Framed biblical cosmology poster depicting the waters above, firmament, Earth, Sheol and the Great Deep in a restrained old-world sacred diagram. The world is ordered in descending strata: the waters above rest beyond the firmament; sun, moon and stars keep their appointed courses beneath the vault; the inhabited Earth stands above Sheol; and beneath it all lie the primordial waters of the Great Deep, with Leviathan moving through the darkness. Rendered in aged indigo, antique gold, parchment and muted ochre, the plate draws on the visual language of old theological diagrams and sacred cosmographies without reproducing any single historical source. The composition is deliberately spare: named realms, architectural divisions, and the structure of creation as written. • Printed on heavyweight 200 gsm (80 lb) white matte paper • Smooth, non-reflective matte finish • Durable pine wood frame • Frame measures 20–25 mm (0.79–0.98 in) thick and 10–14 mm (0.4–0.6 in) wide • Shatterproof plexiglass protects the print • Includes hanging hardware and arrives ready to hang • FSC-certified paper and frame materials, or equivalent The waters were divided. The order remains.
Ancient Hebrew Cosmology - Framed Canvas
from $44.00
In the beginning, the waters were divided. Above the firmament lie the celestial waters, with Sol and Luna tracing their appointed paths beneath the vault of heaven. Below rests the inhabited earth, its mountains rising above the deep and its rivers running toward the outer sea. Beneath the earth lies Sheol, the realm of the departed, descending through the foundations of the world. Below all is the Great Deep—the primordial abyss associated with the waters of creation and the dark dwelling of Leviathan. This original Etherfolk reconstruction brings together cosmological imagery found across Genesis, Job, the Psalms, and related ancient Jewish texts. Rather than reproducing one surviving historical diagram, it gathers those scriptural elements into a single visual model of the biblical world: the firmament above, the inhabited earth below, Sheol beneath, and the Great Deep at the foundation. Rendered in antique gold against deep navy, the composition draws from the visual language of medieval illuminated manuscripts and sacred cosmological charts. Angels occupy the corners, the created order unfolds through clearly defined strata, and the inscription at the base reads, "To the Glory of the Almighty Creator." The piece is intended as a work of sacred cosmological art: a modern reconstruction shaped by Scripture, historical interpretation, and the long visual tradition of giving structure to the heavens, the earth, and the deep. Details: • Printed on a substantial 300–350 gsm cotton-polyester canvas. • Mounted on FSC-certified wooden stretcher bars. • Outer frame made from sustainably sourced poplar or pine. • Recessed canvas presentation creates a subtle gap between the artwork and frame. • Hanging hardware included. The waters were divided. The firmament was set in place. The record remains in the text.
Behemoth and Leviathan Framed Canvas, Book of Job Biblical Bestiary, Christian Wall Art
$110.00
Behemoth rests among the reeds; Leviathan troubles the deep. In the closing chapters of Job, the strength of creation stands beyond human command.

This original Etherfolk interpretation brings the two great creatures into an illustrated bestiary shaped by historical biblical prints. Deep navy, muted teal, earthen ochre, and aged-gold tones surround the paired realms of riverbank and sea. Ornamental foliage and celestial emblems enclose the scene beneath its scriptural reference, Job XL–XLI.

Printed on canvas and set within a pine floating frame, the artwork brings a solemn biblical presence to a library, study, or prayer room.

Four Rivers of Eden Framed Poster
from $45.94
One river leaves Eden and divides into four, carrying the sacred geography of Genesis outward through Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel, and Euphrates. This illuminated rendering presents the garden as the ordered center of the world described in Genesis 2:10–14. The walled garden, Tree of Life, four river heads, surrounding lands, and scriptural resources are arranged with the clarity of an old cosmological manuscript. Deep indigo waters, warm parchment terrain, and restrained botanical ornament give the image the character of a recovered sacred map. The composition belongs naturally in a Bible study, pastor’s office, home library, Christian classroom, or collection devoted to biblical cosmology and historical sacred geography.

Saint Brendan - Framed Poster, Jasconius Living Island
from $88.48
The sea was not empty, and every island was not necessarily land. In the Navigatio Sancti Brendani, the voyage of Saint Brendan and his monks carries them into a maritime world where pilgrimage, miracle, and the unknown remain difficult to separate. Jasconius—the immense living creature mistaken for an island—became one of the enduring images of the medieval voyage tradition: a great fish bearing monks, altar, and Mass upon the open sea. This framed print renders the episode as an old maritime plate, with Jasconius dominating the water while the monastic company gathers upon his back and period vessels keep their distance among the surrounding headlands. A piece for collections concerned with medieval Christianity, sacred voyage literature, sea legends, and the stranger geography preserved in the older record. Details: • Printed on heavyweight 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, non-reflective finish. • Durable pine wood frame with shatterproof plexiglass protection. • Ready to hang with included hanging hardware. • Made with FSC-certified materials or equivalent. Some islands were only islands until they moved.
Byzantine Christian Cosmology Icon Framed Canvas Print
from $44.00

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." — Genesis 1:1
Christ Pantocrator sits enthroned above the created order, set against a field of gold and attended by two archangels. Beneath Him, the firmament forms the boundary between the heavens and the inhabited world below. The earth appears as a bounded disc surrounded by sea, with church, river, and mountain arranged across its surface. Below, Sheol opens through the foundations as a dark cavern, fire visible within, while four angels kneel at the corners of the composition.

This original Etherfolk composition draws on Byzantine iconography, biblical cosmological imagery, and the ordered visual language of illuminated manuscripts. It does not reproduce one surviving historical icon. Instead, it gathers these elements into a single sacred cosmological plate: Christ above, the firmament between, the inhabited earth below, and Sheol beneath the world.

Rendered in deep blue, antique gold, ivory, and warm ink-black, the piece is designed to carry the gravity of an icon while remaining clear about what it is: a modern work shaped by Scripture and historic Christian visual tradition.

Printed on heavyweight artist-grade canvas and mounted within a solid pine floating frame, it arrives ready to hang. The open-back construction gives the canvas a restrained, architectural presence without unnecessary ornament.

Details

• Premium artist-grade canvas, 344 g/m²
• Solid pine floating frame
• Frame depth: 1.25″ / 3.18 cm
• Open-back construction
• Rubber pads on the back corners

Cosmas Indicopleustes Christian Topography - Print
from $44.00
A Christian cosmology print after Cosmas Indicopleustes, depicting the firmament, the northern mountain, and the inhabited world in the visual language of early Christian cosmography. Rendered after the manuscript tradition of Christian Topography, this piece follows Cosmas' sacred world-structure: the arched vault above, the conical northern mountain, and the inhabited earth set within the surrounding waters. The image is not a facsimile of one surviving manuscript page, but a modern reconstruction drawn from the older Christian cosmographical record. The Greek labels identify three central features of the model: ΣΤΕΡΕΩΜΑ — Firmament The firmament marks the upper boundary or vault of the visible world. In Christian cosmological tradition, the firmament is tied to the order described in Genesis, separating the waters above from the world below. ΟΡΟΣ ΒΟΡΕΙΟΝ — Northern Mountain The northern mountain is one of the distinctive features of Cosmas' cosmography. In his explanation of the sun's course, the mountain helps account for the movement of light, shadow, day, and night within the created order. ΟΙΚΟΥΜΕΝΗ — Inhabited World The oikoumene is the inhabited earth: the ordered human world beneath the firmament, shown here as the land set within the cosmic enclosure. Details: • Printed on heavyweight 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, non-reflective finish. • Durable pine wood frame with shatterproof plexiglass protection. • Ready to hang with included hanging hardware. • Made with FSC-certified materials or equivalent. The vault above, the mountain to the north, and the waters that bound all creation.
The Firmament Framed Poster, Genesis 1:6-8 Biblical Cosmology Wall Art
from $44.00

Framed poster depicting the firmament of Genesis 1:6–8, with the waters above, the sea below, and the appointed lights beneath the vault.

This old-world biblical print renders the firmament as sacred architecture: a golden dome dividing the upper waters from the lower world. Angels stand beneath the structure, the moon is set within the heavens, and the lower horizon opens over mountains, ocean, and first light.

The parchment cartouche preserves the text:

“And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

A framed scripture piece for study rooms, pastor offices, libraries, homeschool spaces, and walls where the older record is still permitted to remain visible.

Ancient Egyptian Cosmology - Framed Canvas Print
from $44.00
"He made the sky and the earth according to his heart's desire." — Egyptian Book of the Dead Nut arches across the composition as the star-covered sky, her body forming the celestial vault above the world. Beneath her, Shu stands with arms raised, holding sky and earth apart. Ra's solar barque moves through the heavens, carrying the sun and its divine company across the ordered expanse. Below, Geb reclines as the earth itself, with river, vegetation, and sacred architecture emerging from his body. This original Etherfolk composition draws on ancient Egyptian cosmological imagery in which the structure of creation is expressed through divine form: sky as goddess, earth as god, air as the force that separates them, and the solar barque as the appointed vessel of celestial passage. The work does not reproduce one surviving papyrus or tomb scene. It gathers several familiar elements of Egyptian sacred cosmology into a single modern plate, arranged in the flat, hierarchical visual language associated with New Kingdom wall painting and papyrus illustration. Rendered with mineral tones, firm black outlines, and a restrained absence of perspective, the composition preserves the clarity of the source tradition without presenting the finished work as an antique or recovered document. Details: • Printed on a substantial 300–350 gsm cotton-polyester canvas. • Mounted on FSC-certified wooden stretcher bars. • Outer frame made from sustainably sourced poplar or pine. • Recessed canvas presentation creates a subtle gap between the artwork and frame. • Hanging hardware included. The sky was given form. The earth was given a body. The order between them remained.
Spiritual Sympathy Card: Nut And Geb Egyptian Cosmology
$12.00
A sympathy card depicting the Egyptian goddess Nut arched over the earth god Geb, the sun descending at the horizon into the underworld passage. For the person who understands that loss has always been part of a larger cyclical system.

Every cosmology accounted for this moment. None of them called it an ending.
The scene is drawn from the Egyptian cosmological record — Nut as the sky, Geb as the earth beneath her, the sun at the threshold of its nightly passage. Rendered in authentic papyrus painting style: ochre ground, deep blue-black, gold detail.

Details:
· Single folded card with envelope
· 5×7 inches
· Premium matte card stock

The record outlasts the moment.
Yggdrasil Framed Poster, Mundane Tree Cosmology
from $67.00
Yggdrasil stands at the centre of an ordered world: the great tree by which regions above, upon, and beneath the inhabited realm are bound into a single cosmological structure. This historic rendering gives that older conception unusual physical form — less a mythological character study than a diagram of how the world itself was understood to hang together. An old-world rendering of Yggdrasil, where the world tree appears as a central axis joining the ordered realms above and below. The composition preserves the strange clarity of an earlier visual record: enclosed world, central axis, spreading roots, and the tree rising through the whole arrangement. Details: • Printed on heavyweight 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, non-reflective finish. • Durable pine wood frame with shatterproof plexiglass protection. • Ready to hang with included hanging hardware. • Made with FSC-certified materials or equivalent. The tree remains where the old arrangement placed it: at the centre.
Norse Cosmology Yggdrasil Framed Canvas
from $44.00
Before the maps were redrawn, the Norse knew the shape of everything.
Yggdrasil at the center of all things. Midgard encircled by Jörmungandr, the world serpent biting its own tail. The Bifrost bridge arcing upward to the golden spires of Asgard above the clouds. Viking longships navigating the outer ocean. The roots descending into the cold dark of Niflheim below.
This is not mythology. This is cosmology — encoded, preserved, and recovered.

Rendered in the tradition of Flemish cartographic engravers, this framed canvas maps the full Norse nine realms with the precision of a survey plate and the drama of an illuminated manuscript.

An artifact from an archive someone tried to close.

Yggdrasil Nine Realms - Framed Canvas
from $51.00
The worlds do not sit apart. They gather in the branches and roots of Yggdrasil. Above the human world rises the realm of the gods, reached by Bifröst through the crown of the great tree. Midgard rests at the center, inhabited and cultivated, surrounded by the outer sea and the immense coils of Jörmungandr. Beyond it, fertile woodland, luminous otherworld, giant-haunted mountains, primordial fire, frozen mist, subterranean forge halls, and the realm beneath the roots complete the Nine Worlds. Rendered without labels or annotation, the realms are distinguished entirely through landscape, architecture, symbol, and cosmological order. Ravens watch from the ornamental frame while the sun and moon keep their places above an image conceived less as a modern fantasy map than an old-world mythic artifact. Details: • Printed on a substantial 300–350 gsm cotton-polyester canvas. • Mounted on FSC-certified wooden stretcher bars. • Outer frame made from sustainably sourced poplar or pine. • Recessed canvas presentation creates a subtle gap between the artwork and frame. • Hanging hardware included. The worlds remain apart. Yggdrasil binds them.
Yggdrasil Nine Realms - Framed Canvas - Labeled
from $51.00
Nine worlds, held in the branches and roots of one tree. Yggdrasil rises through the Norse cosmos: Asgard above the clouds, Bifröst descending toward Midgard, and Jörmungandr encircling the human world in the surrounding sea.

Rendered as an ornate old-world cosmological plate, the composition gathers the Nine Realms into a single sacred order of branches, worlds, sea, and underworld. Details: • Printed on a substantial 300–350 gsm cotton-polyester canvas. • Mounted on FSC-certified wooden stretcher bars. • Outer frame made from sustainably sourced poplar or pine. • Recessed canvas presentation creates a subtle gap between the artwork and frame. • Hanging hardware included. The worlds remain apart. Yggdrasil binds them.
Hindu Cosmology Framed Canvas

A richly detailed framed canvas print depicting Hindu cosmology in illuminated manuscript style — Mount Meru radiating divine light at the center, the flat disc of Jambudvipa encircled by Shesha the cosmic serpent, celestial Svarga above, and the layered Patala realms below.

Designed in the spirit of sacred cosmological diagrams, medieval manuscript illumination, Mughal miniature painting, and antique world-map symbolism, this piece is made for collectors of hidden histories, flat earth cosmology, mythic world models, and esoteric wall art.

The artwork uses a jewel-toned palette of saffron, violet, vermillion, deep celestial blues, and gold-leaf inspired detail. The ornate lotus and mandala border gives it the feel of an archival artifact pulled from a forgotten cosmographic manuscript.

Japanese Buddhist Cosmology Framed Poster
from $54.40
At the center of the world stands Mount Sumeru, surrounded by seven ordered mountain ranges and seas, the four great continents, the sun and moon, and the enclosing boundary of the traditional Buddhist cosmos. This Japanese Shumisen world diagram draws on the visual language of historical Buddhist cosmology: mineral-blue waters, concentric sacred geography, restrained vermilion, aged parchment, vertical Japanese cartouches, and a celestial instrument suspended above the world. The generous open field gives the composition the quiet balance of an old cosmological manuscript or temple chart. Printed on heavyweight museum-quality matte paper and presented in a solid wooden frame, the artwork brings the older Buddhist world model into a format suited to studies, libraries, meditation spaces, and collections of historical cosmology and Japanese sacred art.

Hindu Cosmology Mount Meru - Framed Canvas Print
from $44.00

Australian Sky Vault - Framed Poster
from $45.94
The sky was not always imagined as empty space. Across recorded cosmological traditions of southeastern Aboriginal Australia, the inhabited country lay beneath a substantial sky, bounded at the distant margins and, in some accounts, supported where the heavens met the earth. Beyond that enclosure lay another country—land, water, trees, and ancestral presence continuing beyond the visible sky. This plate draws together those recorded world-structures into a single cosmological scene: finite inhabited country surrounded by waters, a vast solid vault held at its margins by great timber-like supports, the Moon and stars beneath its interior, and an opening through which the country beyond the heavens becomes visible. Beneath the earth, a concealed solar passage suggests the unseen return of the Sun toward the east. Rendered in aged ochre, weathered blue, charcoal black, and parchment tones, the composition follows the character of an old ethnographic world plate rather than a modern celestial diagram. Details: • Printed on heavyweight 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, non-reflective finish. • Durable pine wood frame with shatterproof plexiglass protection. • Ready to hang with included hanging hardware. • Made with FSC-certified materials or equivalent. Beyond the vault, country continues.
Japanese Buddhist Cosmology Framed Poster
from $54.40
Mount Sumeru rises through the center of the Buddhist world, surrounded by ordered seas, mountain ranges, distant lands, and the enclosing cosmic boundary. Above, Shakyamuni Buddha sits between Monju and Fugen, forming a sacred upper register over the structured world below. Rendered in the character of an aged Japanese Buddhist painting, the composition combines mineral blues, muted vermilion, warm parchment, cloud-borne temples, and finely layered sacred geography. The result recalls an Edo-period temple illustration or cosmological hanging scroll: devotional in atmosphere, architectural in structure, and rooted in the traditional Mount Sumeru world model. Printed on heavyweight museum-quality matte paper and framed behind shatterproof plexiglass, the artwork is suited to studies, meditation rooms, libraries, and collections centered on Buddhist art, historical cosmology, and sacred geography. Product Details • Museum-quality master's edition fine-art paper • 250 gsm (110 lb), 0.29 mm (11.4 mil) thickness • Natural off-white, matte, uncoated finish • Durable pine wood frame • Frame profile: 20–25 mm thick, 10–14 mm wide • Shatterproof plexiglass protection • Hanging kit included — ready to display • FSC-certified materials or equivalent • Available in 15 sizes in inches and centimeters • Printed and framed on demand The sacred mountain stands at the center of the ordered world.
Japanese Buddhist Cosmology Framed Poster
from $54.40
At the center stands Mount Sumeru, surrounded by the ordered seas, mountain ranges, cardinal continents, sun and moon of the traditional Buddhist world. This illustration draws on the Japanese Shumisen cosmological tradition, preserving the concentric structure of the older sacred geography in the visual language of an aged Edo-period print. Deep indigo waters, mineral gold, vermilion mountains, cloud-borne Buddhist figures, and Japanese cartouches give the work the presence of an illustrated cosmological manuscript rather than a modern map. The surrounding Iron Mountain encloses the world system, while the elaborate wave and dragon border carries the composition into the ornamental vocabulary of historical Japanese printmaking. Printed on heavyweight museum-quality matte paper and presented in a substantial solid-wood frame, the piece is suited to studies, libraries, meditation spaces, and collections devoted to sacred geography, historical cosmology, and Japanese Buddhist art. Product Details • Museum-quality master's edition fine-art paper • 250 gsm (110 lb), 0.29 mm (11.4 mil) thickness • Natural off-white, matte, uncoated finish • Durable pine wood frame • Frame profile: 20–25 mm thick, 10–14 mm wide • Shatterproof plexiglass protection • Hanging kit included — ready to display • FSC-certified materials or equivalent The world unfolds outward from Sumeru.
Tiwi Cosmology Framed Poster, Aboriginal Australian Mythology
from $51.00
Beyond the inhabited islands, the world continues in layers. Above lies the country of the sky; below, Ilara receives the Sun at dusk and carries her eastward through the night. This framed poster draws from recorded Tiwi cosmological traditions of northern Australia, presenting the human world between celestial and upper realms and the subterranean country beneath. Across the lowest register, the Sun-woman follows her nightly passage through Ilara before rising again in the east. Coastal country, pandanus, tidal waters, celestial bodies, and the returning solar path are arranged as a single cosmological structure. Rendered in a restrained palette of ochre, charcoal black, weathered blue, and aged cream, the composition takes the form of an old cosmological plate rather than a modern diagram. Details: • Printed on heavyweight 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, non-reflective finish. • Durable pine wood frame with shatterproof plexiglass protection. • Ready to hang with included hanging hardware. • Made with FSC-certified materials or equivalent. Night is the road by which the Sun returns.
