Biblical paintings are known as some of the most significant art works in cultural history. For many
centuries, stories from the bible have inspired artists and philosophers, and have successfully
captured their imagination to create well-known masterpieces. It is simply impossible to imagine
the world of art without some extraordinary biblical paintings such as Michelangelo's Creation of
Adam or his famous sculpture David. These works of art have surely left their mark on the human
history and our hearts.
Many artists, secular and religious, have brought the biblical stories into life. Many biblical paintings
have come from the Hebrew bible, the Tanakh or, as referred to by the Christians, The Old
Testament. The Hebrew bible begins with the story of Genesis - the creation of the man and the
universe - and later focuses on the history of the Jewish people and their ancient and exclusive
treaty with God. The treaty begins with Abraham who was chosen by God and was commended to
go to the land of Canaan, now partly the land of Israel. The line of treaties continues with God giving
the Torah to Moses and the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
