Adam and Eve – The Ancestral Sin

According to the Bible, God created Adam by breathing sprinkle of dust over his nostrils. Subsequently, God next created Eve, from one of Adam’s ribs, giving her life, but forbidden them to eat the fruit of one single tree, the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,” warning them if they disobey, their lives would be taken from them and they would die. In the Garden of Eden a serpent emerged, persuaded Eve, then Eve convinces Adam, to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree; hence, they all violated the God’s commandment and committed sin. That is why the original sin utterly refers to all of them, to the serpent, and to Adam and Eve. Aware of their sin, covered with aprons made of fig leaves, and with a curse were forever banished from the Garden of Eden.

The Biblical story is narrated in this work of art, as well as results of evil, sin and suffering.
