Adam en Eva 1570 - 1590

"Adam en Eva" (Adam and Eve) is a 16th century engraving by an anonymous artist depicting a scene from the Book of Genesis. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, with Eve reaching for the forbidden fruit of knowledge and Adam lying prostrate in the foreground, suggesting their fall from grace. The engraving's detailed and naturalistic style, typical of the Northern Renaissance, captures the somber nature of the biblical narrative.
