Hans Baldung's 1511 woodcut "The Fall of Mankind" depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve stand before a serpent wrapped around a tree, while a sign above them reads "Lapsus Humanae Generis," meaning "the fall of the human race." The intricate detail and stark contrast of the artwork are hallmarks of Baldung's style and illustrate the story of the biblical fall.
