The engraving of 1504 depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, with several symbolic animals around them.[1] This famous engraving transformed how Adam and Eve were popularly depicted in art.[2]
The 1507 painting offered Dürer another opportunity to depict the ideal human figure in a different medium.[3] Painted in Nuremberg soon after his return from Venice, the panels were influenced by Italian artwork.[3] Dürer's observations on this second trip to Italy provided him with new approaches to portraying the human form. Here, he depicts the figures at human scale—the first full-scale nude subjects in German painting.[3]
