EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite 18th-century genealogical tree from Adam to Abraham, found within the pages of a Bible. Crafted by an unknown artist in the preceding century, this intricate engraving is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a majestic tree trunk as its centerpiece, symbolizing the roots and lineage of humanity. As one's eyes wander through the branches and leaves, they will notice a sinuous snake intertwined amidst the foliage. This serpent serves as an allegorical representation of temptation and original sin, alluding to Eve's fateful encounter in biblical lore. The botanical elements surrounding the tree evoke a sense of nature's beauty and abundance while also emphasizing mankind's connection with creation. Each branch represents generations upon generations that have sprouted forth from Adam and Eve, illustrating our shared ancestry. With religious significance at its core, this genealogical tree offers insight into biblical characters such as Abraham—a pivotal figure in many faiths—whose descendants would go on to shape history. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are granted access to this remarkable piece of artistry frozen in time. Its rich symbolism invites contemplation about our own place within this vast tapestry of life—an exploration that transcends mere religion or belief systems but speaks to our collective human experience.
