From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Adam and Eve is a 1460 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see Adam and Eve standing together in a simple landscape. They're depicted in a traditional way, with Adam on the left and Eve on the right. The colors used are red, green, tan, and ochre, which were common for this time period. The artist used these colors to create a sense of simplicity and innocence. You can learn more about this type of art by looking into the technique: woodcut.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
