13th Adam Ancestral Angel Antique Biblical Christianism Creation Eden Episode Exile Expulsion Genesis Myths Paradise Putting Sending Temptation Testament Banishment Disobeying
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century engraving depicts the pivotal moment in Old Testament history, known as the Original Sin, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God's commandment not to eat from the forbidden fruit. Surrounded by various animals and an attentive angel, the miniature scene unfolds in the idyllic setting of the Garden of Eden. In this moment of temptation, Eve, enticed by the serpent, reaches out to take a bite, while Adam, with a look of disbelief, watches on. The consequences of their disobedience are profound, as God, in His righteous anger, banishes them from the Garden, marking the beginning of human suffering and the exile from paradise. This powerful episode, recounted in the book of Genesis, is a seminal moment in the history of Christianity and Western civilization, shaping our understanding of the human condition and the nature of sin. This antique engraving, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, offers a glimpse into the artistic and spiritual sensibilities of the Middle Ages. Originating from France, this precious piece of antiquity is a testament to the enduring allure of biblical stories and the profound impact they continue to have on our collective consciousness.
