ABOUT THE WORK

Adam and Eve by Hans Baldung Grien was created in 1531 and is in Thyssen Bornemisza Museum Madrid. The size of the work is 147,5 x 67,3 cm and is made of oil on panel. Adam and Eve is a magnificent study of the male and female nude, executed with enormous precision and a visual power comparable to the work of the greatest masters. It focuses on the theme of Original Sin and depicts the moment when Eve has been tempted by the Devil to take the fruit of the tree, just prior to the central episode. The subject is conveyed not only through the traditional symbols of the serpent and the apple but also by Adam’s telling pose, holding Eve firmly and possessively, and by his suggestive, knowing gaze. Baldung Grien used an elongated format for this work, in which Eve is depicted with soft, rounded forms and firm, pale skin. The figure of Adam, with his darker skin, reflects the artist’s knowledge of anatomy with the muscles and the different parts of the body defined through the modelling of light and shade. Dating from Baldung Grien’s mature period, it recalls the painting of the same subject by his master Dürer which he would probably have seen during his time in the latter’s studio. Baldung Grien depicted the subject of Original Sin on numerous other occasions, including two prints dated 1511 and 1519. The Artist: Hans Baldung Grien (1484 - 1545) was a German artist in painting and printmaking who was considered the most gifted student of Albrecht Dürer. Art Movement: Renaissance The Theme of the Work: Faith Culture
