Adam and Eve is a pair of oil-on-panel paintings by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer.Completed in 1507 the work followed a 1504 copper engraving by Dürer on the same subject one which offered Durer the opportunity to depict the ideal human figure. Painted in Nuremberg soon after his return from Venice the panels were influenced by Italian art. Dürer’s observations on his second trip to Italy provided him with new approaches to portraying the human form.
