[H2]Description and Analysis[/H2]
The painting depicts God as a bearded man with a cloak draping Him, extending his hand to touch Adam's left hand. However, only their fingers meet in between, creating a dramatic tension that has been immortalized in contemporary culture. The hands of God and Adam are frozen in time, as if at any moment, the world will explode when their fingertips touch.
