Schepping van hemel en aarde Possibly 1700 - 1716

Herman Coets's "Schepping van hemel en aarde" depicts a celestial scene with cherubs surrounding a large sphere, likely representing the Earth. The cherubs, bathed in a radiant light emanating from above, symbolize the divine creation. The artist's signature and the inscription "In den Beginne...," a reference to Genesis, further emphasizes the biblical theme. This red chalk drawing, created in the early 18th century, offers a powerful and symbolic representation of the creation of the world.
