Adam and Eve (Dürer)
1504 engraving and 1507 paintings by Dürer
Adam and Eve is the title of two famous works in different media by Albrecht Dürer, a German artist of the Northern Renaissance: an engraving made in 1504, and a pair of oil-on-panel paintings completed in 1507. The 1504 engraving depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, surrounded by several symbolic animals.[1] The engraving transformed how Adam and Eve were popularly depicted in art.[2]
The 1507 painting in the Museo del Prado offered Dürer another opportunity to depict the ideal human figure in a different medium.[3] Painted in Nuremberg soon after his return from Venice, the panels were influenced by Italian art.[3] Dürer's observations on his second trip to Italy provided him with new approaches to portraying the human form. Here, he depicts the figures at human scale—the first full-scale nude subjects in German painting.[3]

From approximately 1500 until his death, Dürer was concerned with the theory of art, especially the study of proportions, an important topic for the humanists of the time. Along with his interest in religious themes, Dürer tried to find an answer to the problem of human proportions. He searched for the laws governing perfection in these forms. In 1500, Jacopo de’Barbari (an Italian painter, printmaker and miniaturist) arrived in Nuremberg from Venice, and through him Dürer became acquainted with the theorists of Antiquity, among them Vitruvius (‘Ten Books on Architecture‘, ca. 30-20 BC); de Barbari informed him of the new artistic trends that were then developing in Venice.
At that time, the Apollo Belvedere was being exhibited in Rome, a sculpture that for Dürer’s contemporaries was the essence of the beauty of ancient art; Dürer, who probably knew this work from drawings, was also influenced by it. Prompted by classical art and by Italian examples, he carried out a series of studies on proportion. The final result of these exercises was the brilliant engraving of Adam and Eve (Private collection), in which the Gothic formal language was totally overcome. One of Dürer’s most famous engraved works, it is the conclusion of his four-year study
