1511
fresco
From the collection of Vatican Museums
The Creation of Eve is a 1511 fresco by Michelangelo, a High Renaissance work, depicting Adam, held at Vatican Museums.
In the painting, a man with a long white beard and a purple robe stands on the right, his hands raised in front of him. A woman with long red hair kneels on the left, her hands outstretched towards the man. Behind her, another figure with red hair lies on the ground. The scene is set against a backdrop of rocks and a blue sky, with a body of water visible in the distance. The figures are rendered in muted earth tones, with the man's robe a deep purple. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Michelangelo, who was known for his frescoes in the Sistine Chapel.
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), known mononymously as Michelangelo, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance.
