# Adam and Eve [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BALDUNG GRIEN, Hans]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on panel, 148 x 67 cm ## Commentary This brilliantly executed painting displays one of Baldung's specialities - the treatment of the nude, particularly the female nude. The subject of this painting is original sin, which is conveyed not just through the use of the traditional symbols - the serpent and the apple - but also by Adam's eloquent pose, holding Eve firmly and possessively with a look that leaves nothing to the imagination. ## Related artworks - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam \(detail\)]() - [Adam]() - [Aristotle and Phyllis]() - [Coronation of the Virgin]() - [Count Christoph I of Baden]() - [Count Philip]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Crucifixion]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
