Adam and Eve 1525

This painting by Jan Gossaert, also known as Mabuse, depicts the biblical scene of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Painted in 1525, the work is a notable example of Northern Renaissance art, characterized by its meticulous detail and focus on realism. The figures of Adam and Eve are portrayed with a sense of naturalism, their bodies sculpted in a three-dimensional fashion. The painting is infused with symbolic details, such as the serpent coiled around the Tree of Knowledge, which represents temptation and the fall of man.
