Adam and Eve in Paradise Unknown 18th Century Adam and Eve, unashamed of their nakedness, hold each other in a casual embrace as God points to the tree of knowledge and admonishes them not to eat its fruit. The figures derive from an engraving by Jan Sadeler I (after Maerten de Vos), published in Antwerp in 1583. Human anatomy, already exaggerated in the print, is further accentuated in the painting by the addition of color, as Adams ruddy flesh contrasts with Eves blushed ivory skin. The paradise landscape they inhabit, with its lush vegetation and brightly colored birds, is typical of Cuzco painting in the 18th century. View more. Adam and Eve in Paradise. Unknown artist.
