Gud forbyder Adam at spise af kundskabens træ 18th century

"Gud forbyder Adam at spise af kundskabens træ," created in the 18th century by Johann Elias Ridinger, is an etching that depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This artwork is a fine example of the detailed and naturalistic style of the artist. It is held in the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The scene shows Adam kneeling before the tree of knowledge, seemingly trying to resist the temptation of the forbidden fruit. Surrounding him are various animals, including a snake, which is often depicted as a symbol of temptation. Ridinger's etching exemplifies the Baroque art movement's emphasis on dramatic detail and realistic depiction.
