"The Creation of Eve" is a notable mosaic by the Italian artist Jacopo Torriti, also known as Jacobus Torritus. This work is part of a larger ensemble located in the apse of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, one of the major churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the Christian world. Created towards the end of the 13th century, during the pontificate of Pope Nicholas IV, the mosaic is a significant example of the medieval Roman school of mosaic art, which flourished during this period.

The mosaic depicts the biblical scene from the Book of Genesis in which God creates Eve from the rib of Adam. It is a part of the broader narrative cycle within the basilica that illustrates stories from the Old Testament, which are meant to prefigure the life of the Virgin Mary and the redemption brought by Christ. Torriti's work is characterized by its rich iconography, vibrant colors, and the use of gold tesserae, which create a shimmering effect that enhances the spiritual and divine nature of the depicted scenes.

Jacopo Torriti is known for his mastery in the art of mosaic and for his significant contributions to the decoration of the apse of Santa Maria Maggiore. His works are celebrated for their intricate detail and the way in which they reflect the theological and artistic sensibilities of the late 13th century. "The Creation of Eve" is particularly admired for its composition and the elegance of the figures, which demonstrate Torriti's skill in conveying complex theological concepts through visual art.

The mosaic has been preserved and remains an important example of medieval art, attracting scholars and visitors alike. It is not only a testament to Torriti's artistic prowess but also to the rich cultural and religious history of Rome during the Middle Ages. "The Creation of Eve" continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, and it plays a crucial role in our understanding of the development of Christian iconography and the use of mosaic as a medium for ecclesiastical storytelling.
