Adam en Eva verbergen zich voor God de Vader 1585

This 1585 engraving by Johann Sadeler I, titled *Adam en Eva verbergen zich voor God de Vader* depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve hiding from God after eating from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge. The scene is set in a lush garden, where a large tree stands in the center. Adam and Eve are shown hiding behind the tree, their bodies partially concealed. God, with a stern expression, stands behind the tree, a bear looking on in the background. The scene depicts the moment of shame and guilt that followed Adam and Eve's transgression, a story that has resonated with viewers for centuries. This engraving is a prime example of the Northern Renaissance printmaking style and is held in the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands.
