Adam en Eva in het paradijs 1581 - 1656

"Adam en Eva in het paradijs" (Adam and Eve in Paradise) is an etching by Nicolaes de Bruyn, created between 1581 and 1656. The print depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, surrounded by various animals. The scene is contained within a circular frame, with a Latin inscription circling its outer edge. De Bruyn's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and realism to the composition, making this work a fine example of Northern Renaissance printmaking. The print is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
