Adam en Eva 1586 - 1612

This etching, "Adam en Eva" by Cornelis Galle I, depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The print, created between 1586 and 1612, features Adam and Eve in a lush landscape, with a serpent coiled around a tree, alluding to the temptation of the forbidden fruit. The detail of the serpent emphasizes the theme of temptation and the fall of humanity. This print is a classic example of 17th-century Northern European art, capturing the biblical story with dramatic detail and expressive figures.
