God Breathing Life into Adam

About this work

This etching shows a muscular man sitting on the ground, reaching up toward a winged figure floating above him. The winged figure has a lion’s body and a human-like face, with one arm stretched out to touch the man’s hand. Around them, a rabbit and a tree with sparse branches fill the background. The scene looks like it’s straight from a story—maybe a biblical one. The text at the bottom is in Latin, hinting at a deeper meaning.
