Adam and Eve - Dürer and Grien



(first painting)
Adam and Eve
Hans Baldung Grien
1507
Oil on wood
212 x 85 cm
Uffizi, Florence


The first painting is the copy, by Dürer's student, Hans Baldung Grien, of Dürer's original work. He added a bit more wildlife.


(second painting)
Adam and Eve
Albrecht Dürer
1507
Oil on panel
Each panel 209 x 82 cm
Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Even in Dürer's work, which at least shows Adam with an apple too, he looks a bit hesitant. Eve, on the other hand, looks confident.
