EDITORS COMMENTS
The Garden of Eden," painted by Roelandt Savery in 1618, is a captivating masterpiece that transports viewers to the biblical paradise before the fall of man. This Flemish painting, now housed in the National Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic, is a prime example of Baroque art from the early 17th century. Savery masterfully depicts a lush, verdant landscape filled with an array of animals, including camels, cows, deer, dogs, horses, and exotic birds such as parrots, peacocks, pelicans, and even a tiger. The painting's rich colors and intricate details bring the story of Genesis to life, with Adam and Eve in the center, surrounded by a group of animals that seem to gaze at them with curiosity and wonder. The painting's setting is a beautiful landscape, with trees laden with ripe fruit and flowers in full bloom. The golden age of Europe is evident in the abundance of natural beauty and the peaceful coexistence of man and animals. The painting's history is as fascinating as its subject matter. It was originally commissioned by the Sternberg family of Bohemia and was displayed in their palace in Prague. The painting's journey from Flanders to the Czech Republic is a testament to the international reach of Flemish art during the Dutch Golden Age. Today, "The Garden of Eden" remains a beloved work of art that continues to inspire awe and wonder in viewers, offering a glimpse into the biblical past and the creative vision of one of Flanders' most talented painters, Roelandt Savery.
