In this rare depiction, Jesus is shown treating Adam and Eve with various remedies in his apothecary shop. The shelves behind him are filled with an array of treatments, showcasing his extensive knowledge of pharmacology. Unlike the more common representation of Jesus as a generic healer, this artwork delves into the specific role of an apothecary that he played during that era. It provides us with a glimpse into the historical context and highlights the significance of medicine in society at that time. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of this momentous scene - Adam and Eve seeking solace from their ailments while being tenderly cared for by Jesus. This powerful image not only reflects on human suffering but also symbolizes hope and redemption through healing.
