EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored woodcut print, titled "The Fall and Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise," is a masterpiece created by the renowned German artist Michael Wolgemut in the late 15th century. It is part of the Nuremberg Chronicles, a groundbreaking encyclopedic work published between 1493 and 1495. The scene depicts the Old Testament story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace, as told in the Book of Genesis. In the center, we find Adam and Eve, both naked and in a state of shock, as they are expelled from the Garden of Eden. The serpent, cunningly disguised as a reptile, slithers at their feet, having successfully tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. The Fall of Adam and Eve is a powerful depiction of the consequences of disobedience and the introduction of sin into the world. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the story to life, with Adam reaching out to Eve as they make their way towards the gate, which represents the entrance to the world outside of Paradise. The print also showcases the richness of the natural world, with various plants and trees surrounding the figures. The use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire awe and wonder. This woodcut is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), in the United States, and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Michael Wolgemut and the artistic achievements of the Renaissance period.
