EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing page from a printed book, specifically a woodcut, dating back to the 16th century. The artwork is attributed to the German School and is currently held in a private collection, no longer subject to copyright restrictions. In this intricate composition, we are transported into an enchanting world where femininity intertwines with nature's beauty. A female figure takes center stage, depicted as Eve herself from biblical lore. She stands gracefully amidst lush foliage and vibrant flowers that symbolize growth and life. The inscription on the page hints at its connection to Genesis, evoking themes of creation and origin. It invites us to contemplate the genesis of humanity within the context of Germanic medieval culture. Notably, our attention is drawn towards a mandrake root sprouting beside Eve's feet - an intriguing plant known for its mythical properties in ancient folklore. The long hair cascading down her nude body adds an ethereal touch while emphasizing her vulnerability and nakedness. This remarkable piece captures both the artistic style prevalent during the 16th century and the fascination with symbolism that permeated Renaissance art. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' collection ensures its preservation for generations to come, allowing viewers worldwide to appreciate this exquisite fusion of mythology, nature, and human form captured by German artists centuries ago.
