{"product_id":"adam-and-eve-albrecht-durer-2","title":"Adam and Eve - Albrecht Dürer","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic 1504 engraving by Albrecht Dürer, depicting the figures of Adam and Eve with precise anatomical detail and symbolic natural elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbrecht Dürer produced this engraving in 1504, representing a synthesis of his study of human proportion and his mastery of the burin. The composition features the figures of Adam and Eve standing in a dense, dark forest. Dürer utilised the contrapposto stance for both figures, a technique he developed through his research into classical sculpture and the idealised human form. Adam leans against a mountain ash tree, while Eve stands beside the tree of knowledge, accepting the forbidden fruit from the serpent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work contains numerous symbolic elements. A parrot sits on a branch above a tablet bearing the artist's name and the date. Below the figures, various animals appear, including a cat, a mouse, an elk, an ox, a rabbit, and a goat. These creatures represent the four temperaments or humours, which were believed to be in perfect balance before the fall of man. The dense foliage and the textured bark of the trees demonstrate Dürer's ability to render natural surfaces through precise hatching and cross-hatching techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print is one of the most recognised examples of Dürer's graphic work. It reflects his interest in the Italian Renaissance theories of proportion, which he sought to reconcile with the detailed observation characteristic of Northern European art. The contrast between the light, modelled bodies of the figures and the dark, atmospheric background creates a sense of depth. The work remains a primary example of the technical capabilities of early sixteenth-century printmaking, showing the capacity of the copper plate to capture fine detail and subtle tonal variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/madonna-and-child-on-a-grassy-bank-hans-baldung-grien\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMadonna and Child on a Grassy Bank by Hans Baldung Grien\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/crucifixion-martin-schongauer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCrucifixion by Martin Schongauer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/albrecht-durer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAlbrecht Dürer prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Albrecht Dürer","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147007394127,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147009163599,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147009196367,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147009229135,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147009261903,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Adam-and-Eve_Poster_CompositorV1_1792124944667.jpg?v=1792290800","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/adam-and-eve-albrecht-durer-2","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
