Tree of Life: Under the vine and the fig tree, 1981 (painting)

Tree of Life: icon on wood painted by Charles Sahuguet (1910-1990) - Under the vine and the fig tree (40 x 32 cm, 1981) - In the middle of the two emblematic trees, bearing fruits, stands the hand of the Creator, between the moon and the sun. It is a vision of peace that illustrates two biblical phrases: “Judah and Israel lived safely each under his vine and fig tree” (Book of Kings 1, IV, 25) and “I will put away the iniquity of this country in a single day. On that day - declares Yahve-Sabbaoth - you will invite yourself under the vine and under the fig tree” (Book of Zechariah III, 9, 10) - Collection Abbey of Caunes-Minervois, agreement of the heirs and beneficiaries OK for publication without additional rights.
