The Garden of Eden

1410 Tempera on wood St?delsches Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt The other tree in the Garden is that of Knowledge, which is also the Tree of Death. It is embraced by the youthful St Sebastian, whose martyrdom (he was tied to a tree and killed by arrows) may be related to the crucifixion of Jesus. The figures sitting in front are easily recognizable by their attributes: the Archangel St Michael by the monkey-like monster cowering at his feet, who is the vanquished Satan himself; St George by his knightly clothes and by the corpse of the dragon, the embodiment of earthly wickedness.Artist:UNKNOWN MASTER, German Title: The Garden of Eden (detail) Painted in 1401-1450 , German - - painting : religious
