More about this artwork

This is Albrecht Dürer's engraving titled "The Fall of Man," commonly known as Adam and Eve, created in 1504. The artwork is a masterful representation of the biblical story of Adam and Eve from the Book of Genesis, depicting the moment of temptation and the fall from grace in the Garden of Eden.In the center of the composition, Adam and Eve are depicted in a detailed naturalistic style, standing next to each other and surrounded by a dense forest. Eve is shown on the right, reaching out to take the forbidden fruit from the serpent, which coils around the tree of knowledge. Adam, on the left, extends his hand in a hesitant gesture towards Eve. Both figures are rendered with idealized muscular and anatomical detail, reflective of Dürer's strong grounding in humanist ideals and classical art.The engraving is rich with symbolism. Around the figures of Adam and Eve, Dürer has included a menagerie of animals, each symbolizing different concepts. To the left, a cat crouches, likely symbolizing deceit or stealth, and next to it, a rabbit suggests fecundity or innocence. A prominently placed elk and an ox, visible behind Adam, symbolize melancholy and patience, respectively.

Christian paintings, woodcuts and landscapes by the German Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). Dürer's pieces on Christian themes and allegory are considered to be the finest examples of the Northern Renaissance. One of Dürer's most famous works on Christ is his "Crucifixion" woodcut (1503). The piece demonstrates Dürer's mastery of the medium and deep understanding of Christian symbolism. The work depicts the crucifixion of Christ in a powerful and realistic manner, with an emphasis on the suffering and sacrifice of Christ. Dürer began his career as an apprentice in Nuremberg to the master craftsman Michael Wolgemut. He later became the founding member of the city's painters' guild and was an active member of humanist circles prominent in Nuremberg at the time.
