| AUTHOR | Hans Baldung Grien (1484/85 - 1545) Schwäbisch-Gmünd - Württemberg - Germany |
| MEDIA | Oil on wood |
| SIZE | 208 x 83,5 cm |
| LOCATION | Hungary - Budapest - Museum of Fine Arts |
| NOTES | Vigorous lines, clear and plastic forms and bold presentation are the characteristic features of the two companion-pieces Adam and Eve. The paintings represent the life-size figures of Adam and Eve from the scene of the Fall. They appear to have belonged to a series consisting of four nudes, and it is recorded that in 1641 four paintings by Hans Baldung, representing Adam, Eve, Judith and Venus, found their way from Strasbourg into the possession of a Basle merchant.
The characteristic marked contours of Adam manisfest the drawing skills of the artist. The painting shows the influence of Dürer. |
