Border with the Creation of Eve; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: Magnificently clothed in red robes and a three-tiered crown, God calls forth Eve in the idyllic setting of the Garden of Eden. Christian commentators associated Eve's emergence from Adam's side with Christ's side being pierced by a lance, discussed in the text on this page and pictured on the facing folio.
