Adam and Eve, painted by Lucas Cranach the Elder in the early 16th century, is a masterful representation of the biblical story of creation and humanity's fall from grace. Known for his distinct style during the Northern Renaissance, Cranach brings a unique elegance to this depiction of the first humans in the Garden of Eden. The delicate, elongated forms of Adam and Eve, set against a lush landscape, create a composition filled with both beauty and symbolic meaning.
