Adam and Eve #19

Adam and Eve #19
Artist
Albrecht Durer
Medium
Drawing - Engraving In Black On Ivory Laid Paper
Description
Albrecht Dürer’s engraving Adam and Eve exhibits the extraordinary detail and tonal range of which he was capable. The print’s meticulously described landscape and its symbolism are derived from late medieval art, while Dürer’s fascination with the canons of classical proportion and anatomy (Adam is posed like the Apollo Belvedere, while Eve recalls classical statues of Venus) comes from his study of Italian Renaissance art.
