Michael Angelo Buonarroti

CHAPTER VI
6/13

From the middle upwards the wicked one is of human form, and the rest of him like unto a serpent, his legs transformed into tails winding around a tree.

He seems to reason with the man and persuade him to act contrary to the commands of his Creator, and he offers the forbidden apple to the woman.

On the other side of the space the two are seen driven forth by the angel, terrified and weeping, flying from the face of God.

In the seventh is the sacrifice of Abel and of Cain;( 40) the one grateful to and accepted by God, the other hateful and refused.

In the eighth is the Deluge, when the ark of Noah is seen in the distance in the midst of the waters; some men attempt to cling to it for safety.
