When Adam Delved and Eve Span
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intricately designed illustration by the renowned Victorian artist, Edward Burne-Jones, created in 1892. This beautiful work of art depicts a scene from the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, but with an unexpected twist. In the image, Adam, the man, is shown in the act of digging the earth, while Eve, the woman, spins thread beside him. Their young children play nearby, adding a sense of domesticity and warmth to the scene. The couple is surrounded by an ornate border adorned with intricate lettering and political and social commentary. The title of the illustration, "When Adam Delved and Eve Span," is a reference to the old English proverb, "In Adam's fall we sinned all," which suggests that all of humanity fell from grace with Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. However, Burne-Jones challenges this notion by depicting Adam and Eve as equals, with both engaged in productive labor and caring for their children. The question of class and social status is also explored in the illustration, as the couple and their children are dressed in simple yet elegant clothing, suggesting a sense of comfort and contentment. The use of rich colors and intricate detailing in the border further emphasizes the importance of design and craftsmanship in the late Victorian era. Overall, "When Adam Delved and Eve Span" is a stunning and thought-provoking work of art that challenges traditional interpretations of biblical stories and explores themes of labor, family, and social status in the late Victorian era. This illustration is a testament to Burne-Jones's mastery of design and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience in his art.
