Genesis 2:21-23
"So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man.'" (Genesis 2:21-23)
This passage narrates the creation of Eve, the first woman, from Adam's rib. It signifies both a literal and symbolic connection between man and woman, emphasizing their mutual dependency and unity.
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
Salvador Dalí’s treatment can be understood as a surrealist reflection of the deeper mystical connection between man and woman. Dalí often used surrealism to explore the sacred, the psychological, and the divine, and the creation of Eve is no exception. Dalí’s representation might not strictly follow the literal details of the biblical passage but instead emphasizes symbolic connections.
