This oil painting by the Early Netherlandish artist, Jan Gossaert, known as Mabuse, depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Created around 1520, the painting is notable for its realistic portrayal of the human figure and its detailed landscape. Adam and Eve stand in a garden setting, with a serpentine tree and a distant fountain visible in the background. The painting is a classic example of Northern Renaissance art, characterized by its meticulous detail and its emphasis on naturalism.
