I'm confused.. I don't know if my Google is different than your Google, but Cranach the Elder's painting is the fourth picture and is titled "The Tree of Knowledge.. of Good and Evil." The fifth picture, which is black and white, is entitled "The Tree of Good and Evil Knowledge." http://images.google.com/images?q=+tree+of+good+and+evil+&svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wiThe and appears, most likely, to be an engraving, and is an illustrative reference to an elusive compendium referred to as 'The Rosicrucian Manifestos' which were two documents of unknown authorship written in the early 1600's in Europe. They purported to announce the existence of a hitherto unknown esoteric order, the Brotherhood of the Rose Cross, to the world. Both are filled with references to the Kabbalah, Hermeticism and Alchemy as well as Christian imagery . It is still not known if it was meant as a hoax. So I don't know which you're looking for... I have searched and cannot find a reference to the artist (for the latter) unless I missed something in the German:)...but if it's the black and white image, just click on it and all the symbolism and inferences are discussed in the text. The same for the Cranach, click on it and the interpretations are dicussed by various religious interpretations. I hope that this helps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosicrucian_Manifestos

Pop paintings may well be a sturdy style to color the horse in, so artists like andy Lichenstein may well be sturdy. shiny colorations and somewhat thrilling. purely seek it on google to work out some thoughts.
