The Tree of Life represents a powerful cultural symbol mentioned in numerous world mythologies and is associated with the World Tree. According to the Book of Genesis, the Tree was a source of eternal life for Adam and Eve until their exile from the Garden of Eden.
Lucas Cranach the Elder was a painter during German Renaissance and a court painter in the Electorate of Saxony. He created around fifty versions of this biblical theme, yet with similar composition in most of them: the Tree of Life remains the central motif dividing the picture into two parts.
