About the creation
Grabow Altarpiece: Adam and Eve
Artist name: Meister Bertram
Scenes from the story of Adam and Eve: Above, Eve is created from Adam’s rib; God warns them both (!) not to eat the forbidden fruit; the human headed serpent gives them fruit, which they eat. Below, God condemns them; a sword wielding angel evicts them from Eden; and they work at their archetypal occupations, spinning and farming.
