The Bible served as a source of subjects for an innumerable number of works of painting and graphics created over a huge, almost two-thousand-year historical period. Biblical stories received visual form in frescoes, icons, paintings, drawings and engravings. Each such work offers its own version of a plot drawn from the Bible, the originality of which is determined by the personality and talent of the artist, who was influenced by a great variety of factors in the social and cultural life of his country and his era.

The basis of this album, which presents from above 300 images on themes from the book of Genesis, made up of engravings by Gustave Doré (1832–1883) and Julius Schnorr (1794–1872); for them, as a rule, the authorship is not indicated (to confuse the creative style of these artists impossible).
