Works featured in these exhibitions

The Creation of the World and the Expulsion from Paradise by Giovanni di Paolo. An old man with a golden halo (God) swoops down from the upper left-hand corner. He points to the universe below, depicted as a series of concentric circles with the Earth in the centre. The sun and other cosmic bodies are depicted within the concentrated universe. On the right-hand side, nude figures (Adam and Eve) are being evicted from a garden by an angel (nude with wings & halo). Beneath, four rivers flow from arid ground

God as Creator of the World with a Compass, from the Bible moralisée by Unknown artist. • In the centre sits a bearded, long-haired, haloed figure (Christ), dressed in blue and red. In his arm, he holds the universe in the form of a sphere of swirls of blue, green, black, and yellow. In his other hand, he holds a geometric compass, the needles pressed against the sphere’s centre and edge. An angel sits in each corner against a golden background. They hold up a quatrefoil frame which encircles Christ.

The Separation of Light and Dark by Michelangelo Buonarroti. God in the centre is clothed in red surrounded by four nude figures, one in each corner. The four sit in different positions atop respective stone platforms, in front of stone pillars. Two bronze shields/medallions are between them on opposing sides of the composition. God is framed by the stone pillars, shown in a contrapposto pose, and lifts his hands into the sky and separating the light from darkness.
