Around 1520 -1550 · Temptation, Fall and elegance of the German Renaissance
Lucas Cranach the Elder describes Eve as an isolated figure or near Adam: slender silhouette, apple, snake and animals transform the biblical story into a silent theater of desire and choice.
Having become court painter to the voters of Saxony in Wittenberg in 1505, Lucas Cranach the Elder directed a particularly active workshop. Adam and Eve are among his most frequently taken up subjects. Eve can occupy an autonomous panel designed as Adam's counterpart, or appear with him under the tree of knowledge. The apple, the snake and the exchange of glances condense the moment of temptation, while deer, lions, birds and vegetation develop the image of a paradise still intact. Cranach prefers a long, supple and almost courteous silhouette to classical proportions. Nudity thus becomes at the same time a religious story, a study of the body and an attractive image intended for princely collections. Dates, emblems and details vary from one version to another, recalling the essential role of the workshop in the multiplication of these compositions. The selection "Eve by Lucas Cranach the Elder" notably compares Eve, Chicago, 1533 -1537 and Adam and Eve. His reading favors the story.
In Cranach, Eve is both protagonist of the story and visual center: an apple, a look and a flexible outline are enough to suspend the moment of the Fall.
