EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a pivotal moment in biblical history. Titled "De Zondeval Scenes from Genesis" it depicts Adam and Eve standing in the lush paradise, next to the infamous tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, their expressions reveal a deep sense of fear and frustration as they confront the snake with its female head coiling around the trunk. Part of a larger seven-part series, this print showcases scenes from the book of Genesis. Created by Gerard de Lairesse in 1665 using paper and etching techniques, it measures 222 mm in height and 251 mm in width. The artist skillfully portrays both temptation and fall through his intricate details and emotive portrayal. The viewer can almost feel Adam's anger while Eve appears equally distressed by their predicament. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's vulnerability to temptation and its consequences. It invites contemplation on themes such as free will, morality, and our eternal pursuit for knowledge. Whether displayed within a personal collection or shared among art enthusiasts, this print offers an opportunity for reflection on one of Christianity's most iconic stories – Adam and Eve's original sin – while appreciating Gerard de Lairesse's artistic prowess.
