The First Day of Creation | Francisco de Holanda | 1545

Francisco de Holanda's The First Day of Creation (1545) is a mystical and symbolic representation of divine creation. A luminous triangle, inscribed with the Greek letters Alpha and Omega and the Latin phrase “Fiat Lux” (“Let there be light”), descends from a radiant circle into a swirling, primordial void. Flames and cosmic waters surround the central vortex, suggesting chaos giving way to divine order. The painting blends Renaissance humanism with Christian cosmology and Neoplatonic thought, visualizing the moment light emerged from darkness.
