EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "La chute de l'homme - The Fall of Man" by Michiel Coxcie, a renowned Flemish artist from the 16th century. Painted with oil on wood, this masterpiece measures an impressive 237x87.5 cm and is housed in the Art History Museum in Vienna. The painting depicts a biblical scene from the Book of Genesis, where Adam and Eve succumb to temptation and eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Coxcie's attention to detail is evident as he portrays various elements such as fruits, animals, and wildlife surrounding the couple. The composition features a serpent coiled around the tree, symbolizing deceit and seduction. A turtle, squirrel, rabbit, and bird add to the rich symbolism present throughout the artwork. This piece explores themes of sinfulness, nakedness, religious beliefs, and human vulnerability. Coxcie's work reflects his mastery of Flemish art during the Renaissance period. Through his brushstrokes and use of color palette, he creates a visually stunning representation that captures both beauty and moral complexity. This print allows viewers to appreciate Coxcie's skillful craftsmanship up close while also providing insight into historical contexts such as natural history studies prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle between desire and righteousness—a timeless theme explored through art for centuries.
