Creation History
In 1504, Albrecht Durer created the first work on this topic - copper engraving "Adam and Eve." In this work, the artist first tried to embody the classic ideal of beauty, trying to find the ideal proportions of a man and a woman. In 1507, the artist wrote the diptych " Adam and Eve, " originally intended for the altar (the altar was never completed).
Story
The plot of the engraving is a classic representation of the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. It is believed that the prototype for the figures of Adam and Eve were drawings from ancient statues of Apollo Belvedere and Venus of Medici . The artist left a complete signature on the engraving, unlike his other engravings, marked only by a monogram.
