EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "The Six Days of Creation" transports us back to the 15th century and invites us to explore the biblical story of Genesis. Translated from Latin by Niccolo Malermi in 1494, this image is a part of the Biblia italica, an Italian translation of the Bible. In this intricate artwork, we witness God's divine power as He creates the world over six days. The night sky serves as a backdrop for each scene, symbolizing both mystery and anticipation. On the first day, God commands light into existence, separating it from darkness. As each day progresses, we see Him shaping land and sea, commanding stars and heavenly bodies into place. On the fourth day, with His hands outstretched towards heaven's expanse, God brings forth sun and moon to govern day and night. Birds take flight on the fifth day while creatures emerge from water below. Finally, on the sixth day comes His most remarkable creation - humans; Adam appears before Eve is formed from his rib in a lush garden known as Eden. This woodcut print not only captures these significant moments but also showcases Italian craftsmanship at its finest during that era. It reminds us of our ancient roots in Christianity and offers a visual representation of one of humanity's oldest stories – a testament to faith passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this piece today in private collection thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts let us reflect on our own place within this grand
