[BIBLE]. [KOBERGER (Anton)] Creation of Adam and Eve. Engraving introducing the book of Genesis. Large heightened and illuminated engraving from the German Bible, A. Koberger [1483]. Dimensions of the illuminated engraving, at sight: 90x90mm; dimensions of the frame: 430x380mm Fine example of a printed folio enhanced to give the illusion of an illuminated manuscript folio. This engraving is taken from the famous Koberger Bible, published in Nuremberg in 1483, in the German language. It is the second German-language Bible published in Nuremberg after the "Sensenschmidt Bible" (circa 1476-78). Certainly one of the best-known printers-publishers of the Renaissance, Anton Koberger (1440-1513) is closely associated with the most famous illustrated incunabulum, Hartmann Schedel's Nuremberg Chronicle. The Koberger Bible of 1483 contains woodcuts attributed to the "Cologne Bible Master", clearly influenced by Dürer's biblical illustrations. The best-known engraving in the Koberger Bible remains this large, half-page woodcut depicting the Creation, with a circle of angels surrounding the vast ocean populated by sea monsters, at the heart of which is the round, verdant island of Eden, from which God gently lifts Eve by the hand from the side of the sleeping Adam.
