EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1493, titled "The Third Day" is a remarkable piece of art that originated in Nuremberg, Germany. It is part of Hartmann Schedels Weltchronik (Nuremberg Chronicle), a renowned book that chronicles the history of the world. In this particular image, we witness an intricate depiction of God's creation on the third day as described in Genesis. The artist skillfully portrays the divine act with meticulous detail and symbolism. The celestial sphere hovers above, emphasizing the heavenly nature of this event. The central focus lies on God's hand extending from above to touch and bring forth life upon Earth. This powerful gesture symbolizes deity's role as creator and emphasizes His omnipotence over all existence.
