Count Art painting, that had been created for the annual exhibition of the Art Club Fulda with the subject "Violence" in 2006. So, the Vonderau Museum of Fulda became the stage of the first but unnoticed publication of a Count-Art painting.

In contrary to usual compositions of two men the painting orientates on the Hebrew names of Cain and Abel which are Quoph-Jod-Nun (Cain) and He-Beth-Lamed (Hewel). The sum of the figure equivalents of the letters of Cain is 160 and the sum of Hewel is 37. Therefore the outer ring is built by 160 staffs for Cain and the inner ring has 37 staffs for Hewel. And in the centre Adam is standing or 1-4-40, as 1 centre surrounded by 4 points with 10 rays around each point.

An essential difference to all historical paintings about this event is that it is about two aspects of a single person. In accordance with the Hebrew tradition Cain is the material or bodily side and Hewel the unvisible inner soul of man (Friedrich Weinreb, see Creation in Word). And the matter kills the soul, which is also whole and holy because holiness is powerful and God likes it more than the sacrifice of calculating materialistic thinking.

This act of violence is of a fundamental nature and earth jurisdiction is unable to judge about this violence.
