EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "La chute de l'homme - The Fall of Man" by Michiel Coxcie, a renowned Flemish artist from the 16th century. Painted with oil on wood, this masterpiece measures an impressive 237x87.5 cm and is currently housed in the Art History Museum in Vienna. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from paradise after succumbing to temptation. In this scene, we witness their shame and modesty as they cover their naked bodies with leaves. Surrounding them are angelic figures representing heaven, while a sword-wielding angel guards the entrance to Eden. Coxcie skillfully incorporates symbolic elements throughout his composition. A monkey symbolizes misfortune and tawny represents one of the seven deadly sins. This painting serves as a powerful reminder of human vulnerability and our constant struggle against temptation. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this piece exemplifies Renaissance art at its finest. Coxcie's mastery shines through in every brushstroke, capturing both the emotional turmoil experienced by Adam and Eve as well as their seduction into sin. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back in time to witness one of Christianity's most iconic stories come to life through artistry that has stood the test of time.
