The Fall of Man, 1592 Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem
An evocative portrayal of the biblical tale of Adam and Eve, standing before the Tree of Knowledge. A serpent tempts Eve with an apple, symbolizing the moment of sin. The scene is rich with various animals including a monkey, cat, dog, slugs, hedgehog, frog, fox, and owl, each adding depth to the narrative. To the left of this tableau, God is seen warning Adam and Eve against eating from the tree.
