Gud skaber lyset (Dies I) 1589

"Gud skaber lyset (Dies I)" is a 1589 engraving by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz. Muller, depicting the biblical story of the creation of light. The circular composition features a dramatic contrast of light and dark, highlighting the creation of light from darkness. The central figure of God is shown reaching towards the light while an angel guides a draped figure out of the dark, representing the separation of light from darkness. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the engraving creates a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the contrast between the two worlds.
