Schepping van Eva 1579

Johann Sadeler I's "Schepping van Eva" (Creation of Eve) is a 1579 engraving depicting the biblical story of Eve's creation. God, in a red robe, reaches towards Eve, who is kneeling and emerging from Adam's side. The scene is set amidst a landscape of trees, animals, and celestial bodies, including the sun and moon. This detailed engraving, typical of Sadeler's work, captures the solemnity and wonder of the biblical event. The work is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
