Creation of the Earth 1550

"Creation of the Earth" is a fresco painting created in 1550 by the Italian artist Francesco de' Rossi, also known as "Cecchino". The fresco depicts God, depicted as an older man with a long beard, creating the Earth. The image is evocative of the Biblical creation story, with God reaching down from the heavens towards the newly formed Earth. The scene is set in a celestial realm, with swirling clouds and angels in the background. This work exemplifies the High Renaissance style prevalent in the 16th century.
