The Creation of Eve 1515 - 1586

Lucas Cranach the Younger's "The Creation of Eve" is a woodcut print depicting the biblical scene of God creating Eve from Adam's rib. The print is set in a lush forest with animals and humans in the background, while the main scene is focused on God and the newly created Eve. The detailed rendering of the foliage, figures and animals is a hallmark of Cranach's style and contributes to the evocative and devotional nature of the artwork. The print, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was likely created for a private devotional setting.
