Malmö Konstmuseum
Malmö, Sweden
Paintings depicting Adam and Eve were during the Renaissance heavily guided and influenced by the creation story from the Bible. Adam and Eve are mostly depicted in the scene of the fall, when Adam is tempted with the forbidden fruit by Eve. This painting is a good example of "The fall of Man" theme where Adam and Eve are presented physically perfect; because they were made in the image of God and God is perfect.
