An Assessment of Albrecht Dürer’s Masterpiece - Adam and Eve: The Fall of Man
The Fall of Man (Adam & Eve)
by Albrecht Dürer
The Fall of Man was a
creation of Albrecht Dürer, a well-known German mathematician, printmaker,
painter, theorist and engraver who was a native of Nuremburg, Germany.
The engraving of Adam and Eve was motivated by
Dürer’s great appreciation of the human body. His enthusiasm of the human form
was said to have been inspired by the Italian theory which explained that a
system of proportion and measurements were the basis of the perfect human form.
