SOM#043, Albert W. Wein, God the Creator, 1951
|
From the collection of John Birks
Number Issued: 725 Bronze
FROM THE ARTIST
In this medal I have attempted to portray the Creation. One side of the medal shows God in all His omnipotent power creating the heavens and the earth, man and woman, the planets, the suns, the stars, etc., as stated in the book of Genesis: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The other side represents the tranquility of God, “The Great Architect”, with the allegorical symbol, the calipers in his hand, contemplating the majestic fulfillment of his labors with the lines, also from the book of Genesis: “And Gold saw everything that he had made and behold, it was very good.” I have tried to show the majesty and power of these lines from the Bible.
