The Creation from the series Illustrations of the Bible by John Martin. • A monochrome print depicting a dark scene of waves, rocks, and clouds. At centre-right, a bearded figure (God) is shown in the sky, his flowing hair and garments blending into the clouds. His outstretched hand conjures a patch of light to his left, which begins to illuminate the scene. Celestial bodies (sun, moon and stars?) are depicted in the sky.

Baptistry window in Coventry Cathedral by John Piper and Nicholas Patrick Reyntiens. Photo of a floor-to-ceiling, stained glass window in Coventry Cathedral. The window consists of a grid of glass and stone, letting light in and blocking it out. Yellow glass panels in the centre are in a roughly circular shape, with greener panels surrounding them. Red dominates the vertical sides of the window, while the top is primarily dark blue. Many of the panels are a mixture of yellow, green, blue and red

"The Division of the Light from the Darkness," illustration III, in the book Genesis from the Bible (Soho, London: The Nonesuch Press) by Paul Nash. This monochrome print displays a series of sharp and straight black and white lines, overlapping and pointing in different directions. The angular nature of these lines mimics rays of light against the darkness.
