Adam and Eve in Paradise

Oil on panel. 68.5 x 42.5 cm.

The paradise landscape, both in the context of the Old Testament story of Adam and Eve and in a mythological context with the figure of Orpheus, experienced a surge in popularity during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Dr. Klaus Ertz dates the present work to Jacob Savery's Amsterdam period around the year 1600.
