De schepping van Eva 1745 - 1788

Antonio Capellan's "De schepping van Eva" is a black and white etching depicting the biblical story of the creation of Eve. The image shows God creating Eve from Adam's rib, with Adam lying on the ground and Eve standing beside him, looking up at God. The scene is set in a landscape with trees and a river, and the figures are depicted with a classical style. The artist skillfully uses chiaroscuro to highlight the figures and create a sense of depth. This etching captures a pivotal moment in the creation story and exemplifies the 18th-century style of depicting biblical stories.
