Abstract (en)

Hall cites Augustine (City of God, 11, 4) and Proverbs 8:27 in support of her argument that the female figure within the arm of God in the Creation of Adam (Rome, Vatican, Sistine chapel) represents divine wisdom or Sapientia, and not Eve, as proposed by Leo Steinberg (Art bulletin, 1992, 74 no 4 (Dec) p. 552-566). Steinberg defends his thesis, arguing that Michelangelo's textual sources were Genesis 1 and 2, which he was concerned to reconcile.
