This essay discusses the intertextual references in the artwork The Creation of Adam and in scenes from the animated film Luca. The scene depicting the “touch of the finger-tips” (Walter Pater) between God and man will be discussed in connection with various scenes from the film. The intertextual references will be analyzed with semiotic tools, redefined through their intertextual interaction, and given a new meaning arising from their new environment.
