EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Admiranta Narratio. . . . Adam and Eve" takes us back to the 16th century, where Flemish artist Theodore de Bry skillfully captures the biblical story of humanity's origins. This colour engraving, dating from 1585-1588, showcases a pivotal moment in history - the fall of man. In this intricate artwork, we see Adam and Eve standing side by side in their natural state of nudity. The artist masterfully portrays their vulnerability as they are surrounded by a lush garden filled with various creatures and animals. A majestic lion rests peacefully at their feet while an angel hovers above them, symbolizing divine presence. At the center of this scene lies a prominent tree bearing forbidden fruit - an apple that would forever change mankind's destiny. Cunningly coiled around its branches is a serpent, representing temptation and deceit. It is through succumbing to this temptation that sin enters the world. De Bry's attention to detail brings life to every element within the composition; from the delicate features of Adam and Eve to the intricacies found in nature itself. Through his skilful use of color engraving techniques, he creates depth and texture that enhances our viewing experience. This remarkable print not only serves as a visual representation but also invites contemplation on themes such as human nature, morality, and consequences. It stands as a testament to de Bry's talent for capturing complex narratives through artistry while reminding us of our shared heritage rooted in ancient stories like that of
