Eva en Kaïn Possibly 1522 - 1528

This small woodcut print, "Eva en Kaïn" (Eve and Cain) was created by Dutch artist Dirck Vellert between 1522 and 1528. The print depicts a scene from the biblical story of Adam and Eve, where Eve is breastfeeding Cain, the firstborn son of Adam and Eve, under the tree of knowledge. The scene is set in a simple landscape with a tree in the background. The artist's detailed and expressive style is evident in the carefully rendered figures and the use of light and shadow. This work demonstrates the popularity of biblical subjects and the artistic use of woodcuts during the Renaissance.
