Title: Adam and Eve
Description: Adam and Eve is a double painting by German Renaissance master Lucas Cranach the Elder, dating from 1528, now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, USA. The two biblical ancestors are portrayed, in two different panels, on a dark background, standing on a barely visible ground. Both hold two small branches which cover their sexual organs. Eve holds the traditional apple, with the snake coming to her from above from the tree of life. Adam is shown scratching the right crown part of his scalp.
