Genesis 1:26-27
"Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." (Genesis 1:26-27)
This pivotal moment in the creation narrative reveals God’s decision to create humans with a special relationship to Himself. Humanity is made in God’s image and likeness, which is a significant theological concept, indicating that humans reflect God's nature in a unique way compared to the rest of creation.
Dalí's Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
Dalí takes the creation of humanity to a surreal and symbolic level, merging the physical and metaphysical aspects of human existence. Dalí’s surrealism allows for a deeper exploration of the divine act of creation, particularly the creation of man as the image and likeness of God.
