This is one of the artist's more formal and thoughtful religious paintings, certainly departing from the academic canon, but strict in the Judeo-Christian symbolic canon. It depicts the biblical story from Genesis and parts of the Gospels, where God completes the creation of man.
The sky is portrayed with yellow light and red, the sun, around which the Jewish people have revolved from ancient times to the crucifixion of Christ. The lower part shows Adam in the arms of the angel, amidst creation.
