EDITORS COMMENTS
This stained glass window captures a pivotal moment in biblical history. Created by the French School in the 16th century, this artwork is located in the Eglise Saint Georges of Chavanges, France. The scene depicted here is from Genesis, where God curses the serpent after it tempts Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient story to life. The artist skillfully portrays God's wrath as he points his finger towards the serpent, condemning it for its deceitful actions. The Renaissance influence can be seen through the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every scale on the serpent's body is meticulously rendered, showcasing both artistic talent and reverence for nature.
