EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jan Saenredam, we are transported back to the very beginning of human existence. Adam and Eve stand before the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, their innocence palpable as they navigate the paradise that surrounds them. The meticulous attention to detail in this artwork is evident, with every leaf and blade of grass rendered with precision. As God warns them about the consequences of eating from the forbidden tree, predatory birds circle above, serving as a reminder of the potential dangers lurking in this idyllic world. The artist skillfully captures both the beauty and fragility of creation through his masterful use of light and shadow. The composition is further enhanced by Abraham Bloemaert's contribution to this collaborative piece, adding depth and dimensionality to the scene. Isack Houwens' delicate touch brings life to Adam's rib being taken for Eve's creation - a symbol of their eternal connection. This print invites us to ponder on themes such as temptation, free will, and our innate curiosity for knowledge. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in paradise, there are choices that can lead us astray. Quint Lox has expertly curated this piece from Liszt Collection, showcasing its historical significance while allowing viewers to appreciate its artistic brilliance without any commercial intent.
