Adam and Eve in paradise 1533

Lucas Cranach the Elder's "Adam and Eve in Paradise," painted in 1533, depicts the biblical story of the first humans in the Garden of Eden. The work, characteristic of the Northern Renaissance, features detailed landscapes and figures with expressive faces. Adam and Eve stand centrally, with a serpent winding around the tree behind them. The presence of animals, such as a deer and a lion, further enriches the scene and adds a sense of natural beauty. Cranach’s portrayal emphasizes the idyllic nature of paradise, highlighting the harmony between humans and the natural world before the Fall.
