"Adam and Eve" is a 1671 ivory sculpture by Pieter Xaveri, depicting Adam, the first man in the Bible. Xaveri, who lived only a short life from 1647 to 1673, created a realistic and lifelike representation of Adam, showcasing his anatomical knowledge and skill in ivory carving. This piece is likely inspired by the biblical story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, with Adam covering himself with fig leaves. The sculpture's realistic depiction of the human form highlights Xaveri's artistic talents and offers viewers a glimpse into the art and religious beliefs of the 17th century.
Comments
Between 1670 and his death in 1673, the Antwerp sculptor Pieter Xaveri lived in Leiden, where he specialized in small figures modelled in clay. Thanks to these signed ivory figurines, we know that he also pursued that specialism. Xaveri has here abandoned his quick and expressive style in clay modelling in favour of fluid, yet restrained forms.
