Monreale cathedral, bronze doors of Bonannus of Pisa, Creation of Eve

Monreale cathedral, bronze doors of Bonannus of Pisa, Creation of Eve

The bronze doors of the west entrance of Monreale cathedral were signed and dated (1186) by Bonannus of Pisa who also made two sets of doors for Pisa Cathedral. Twenty Old Testament scenes occupy the five lower rows and twenty New Testament scenes the upper five rows. This panel shows God creating Eve from Adam’s rib (Genesis 2: 21-22) while Adam sleeps. The titulus reads, “D(omi)n(u)s dedi(t) uxore(m) Ada(m),” “God gave a wife to Adam.” D'Emilio photo archive no. s19781110_2058u (13.4.14/JD)
