An interesting mosaic


I was in Florence Saturday night getting some great pizza with a couple friends. On the way back, I noticed that the Baptistry for the Duomo Church was open and we could go inside for 3 euros. So, we went in.

After looking around at these mosaics that date back 500-700 years I noticed one in particular that stood out. A scene of Adam and Eve. I noticed this because it was relative to one of Dirty Kurt's philosophies.

So here is the scene of that in the Baptistery, outside of the Duomo. A scene from the book of Genesis. The left mosaic is the two of them giving in to their temptations, the middle is Adam and Eve covering themselves with a fig leaf to hide their sin from God, and the right mosaic is them being banished from the Garden.
