The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Fr. the Right Panel of the Garden of Earthly Delights, Hieronymus Bosch Giclee Print
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, from the Right Panel of the Garden of Earthly Delights,
Hieronymus Bosch
Giclee Print

The tree at the center of the Garden of Eden in the book of Genesis is known as the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life. The idea of the tree or upright pole at the center are metaphors and motifs traceable to various world views.

Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516) was a Flemish Gothic artist whose paintings of sin and human suffering from moral failings were presented in symbolically dense iconography that is considered to be a precursor to 20th century surrealism. His work graphically explores and exposes the human mind’s darkest fears with masterful use of color and detail.

Vercingetorix is the name of the chieftain who unified the Gauls against the Romans in an ultimately unsuccessful war c. 45 BC; he is considered a folk hero in France even today.

French “realism” painter, Gustave Courbet (1819-1877), noted for his spontaneous style, believed the artist's mission was to pursue truth and erase social imbalances in the process, perhaps what Vercingetrorix was attempting to do.

Jacob George Strutt made engraved reproductions of his tree portraits for Sylva Britannica (Trees of Britain) dedicated to the Duke of Bedford in 1826. In his introduction Strutt said "Among all the varied productions by which nature has adorned the surface of the earth, none awakens our sympathies, or interests our imagination, so powerfully as those venerable trees which seem to have stood the lapse of the ages, silent witnesses of the successive generations of man, to whose destiny they bear so touching a resemblance, alike in their budding, their prime, their decay."

Yggdrasil the Sacred Ash the Tree of Life, the World Tree of Norse Mythology

Yggdrasil is the sacred Ash of Norse Mythology (ygg=terrible + drasil=horse), where Odin hung for nine days in the search for the sacred Runes.

The idea of the Axis Mundi, or world-axis, and a sacred World Tree whose trunk is the connection between Heaven and Earth, is a common symbol in diverse cultures and religions: the sacred tree of Buddha, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the Sefirot of Judaism, steeples and the Christian Cross, stupas of Hinduism, minarets of Islam, the caduceus of medicine, Maypoles, totem poles of the Pacific Northwest. As secular symbols the Washington Monument, and the Eiffel Tower, or any of the new office buildings are claiming the same power to connect Earth with Heaven.
