EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history - God creating Eve from Adam's rib, as described in the book of Genesis. The image beautifully illustrates Thales' concept of a flat earth floating on water, with air and fire above. It represents the four Greek elements - earth, water, air, and fire - which were believed to be the building blocks of all matter. Taken from "Margarita Philosophica" (The Pearl of Philosophy) by Gregor Reisch in Basle in 1508, this woodcut offers a glimpse into cosmology and philosophy during that era. It showcases how religious beliefs intertwined with scientific understanding at the time. The scene captures the divine act of creation itself – God sculpting Eve out of Adam's rib to create his companion and partner. This powerful imagery symbolizes not only human origins but also highlights gender dynamics within religious narratives. Through this thought-provoking artwork, we are reminded of humanity's deep-rooted connection to both religion and science throughout history. It serves as a testament to our ongoing quest for knowledge and understanding about our place in the world.
