"Six Days of Creation" is a medieval illustration created by Hildegard of Bingen, a renowned 12th-century German Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, and visionary. This artwork, possibly a page from one of her illuminated manuscripts, depicts the biblical story of creation. The central vertical axis of the illustration represents the divine, with God creating the world in six steps, visualized as concentric circles around a luminous center. The imagery reflects a medieval understanding of the cosmos, incorporating elements of Christian theology and natural philosophy.
