EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound significance - God telling Adam to work the land. Taken from an original capital in the cathedral nave, this stone carving is a testament to the artistic mastery of the French School in the 12th century. The intricate details and skillful relief carving bring to life this iconic scene from Genesis. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to witness Adam receiving divine instruction on tilling the earth. The artist's craftsmanship is evident in every stroke, capturing both the physicality of Adam with his hoe and spade, as well as conveying his spiritual connection with God. Displayed at the Cathedral Museum of St. Lazare in Autun, Burgundy, France, this piece exemplifies Romanesque architecture and its influence on religious art during that era. Its presence within such a sacred space adds another layer of reverence and contemplation for viewers. Through this image, we are reminded not only of our human responsibility to cultivate and care for our environment but also of our eternal connection with something greater than ourselves. It serves as a timeless reminder that hard work and dedication can lead us closer to understanding our purpose within creation. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical artifact without any commercial intent or usage restrictions attached. This allows us to appreciate its beauty and significance freely while immersing ourselves in centuries-old artistry that continues to inspire awe today.
