Description |
Deutsch: Adam und Eva standen auf beiden Seiten des Baumes der Erkenntnis mit der Schlange. Im Vordergrund eine Katze, ein Elch, ein Ochse, ein Hase, ein Papagei und eine Maus. Nachdem Jacopo de' Barbari bei einem Besuch 1500 in Nürnberg in die Proportionslehre eingeführt hatte, benutzte Dürer diese Technik für seinen Kupferstich Adam und Eva. Er kombinierte ihre makellose Gestalt mit der Betonung des perfekten Temperaments.
English: Adam and Eve standing on either side of the tree of knowledge with the serpent.After introduced to the canon of proportions—a mathematical system designed to depict the ideal human body—by Jacopo de' Barbari, an Italian artist visiting Nuremberg in 1500, Dürer used the technique to create Adam and Eve. He paired their flawless physiques with an emphasis on perfect temperament. Erwin Panofsky argued that the animals embody the balance of bodily fluids believed to determine personality, called humors, and were associated with particular traits, for example, elk (melancholy), rabbit (sensuality), cat (cruelty), and ox (sluggishness). Praising Dürer's couple, contemporary poet Caspar Velius wrote, "When the Angel saw them, he said with amazement: 'You were not yet this beautiful when I drove you out of Paradise.'" (Morgan Library & Museum)

Licensing
This file is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
