Description of Albrecht Dürer’s painting Adam and Eve
What do you know about medieval painting? Of course, many skilled craftsmen were fond of it in these times. Here’s one of Dürer’s interesting paintings, Adam and Eve, has a fair number of fans from all over the world. So, perhaps it is worth getting to know this work of art a little better, to find out what it so attracted true lovers of all things beautiful.
To begin with, it’s worth mentioning that the artist decided to portray his work in a very non-standard way. After all, we see not one painting, but two large boards, or engravings. The painting was done in oil. The dimensions of such engravings took up quite a lot of space, they were about two hundred meters high, and about eighty in width.
It is known that this art was placed in the Prado National Museum. Originally this engraving was based on copper. The fate of the painting was such that it was painted for the altar, which never reached its final painting. It is worth noting that the plot of this creation is clearly in the spirit of antiquity. After all, the artist had time to draw inspiration from his travels in Italy. Therefore, in the picture we see completely nude people, and it is important to note that the smallest details and the characters themselves are depicted in full size. After all, we all know that Adam and Eve are the first people who came down to earth and gave life on earth.
According to biblical writings, Adam and Eve were completely different, so their images are depicted on each engraving separately. But this does not prevent them from being one. If you look closely, you can see Adam holding the branch from the apple tree with three fingers, while Eve is holding just the same apple that served as the discord and exile to the Promised Land. In the vicinity of this fruit there is a serpent slowly hanging from the branch of the tree, which is precisely the one that decided to move people to commit such a crime. And on the other side you will see a plaque on which is written the author and the time of this painting.
You cannot comment Why?
The picture has something of this: nude, naked, people, shirtless, sexy, woman, model, body, erotic, lingerie, underwear, arouse, portrait, girl, man, back, bodybuilding, breast.
Perhaps it’s two paintings of a naked man and a naked woman, one of which is holding an apple and the other of which has a fish in its mouth.
