Title

Roots Of Knowledge Panel C2

Description

In many cultures, there is often a traditional motif of a Tree of Knowledge, or a Tree of Good and Evil. In the win- dow’s scene, there is a symbolic depiction of the creation of life through a blossoming of such a tree in a primavera stage, with human forms in the composition. The belief in a Divine Creation is as old as preserved human records, although the characteristics of deities differ from society to society, and the pair of human figures in the fetal position inside the tree represent the first man and woman.
