DÜRER, Albrecht: Eve

🖼 Eve, 1507
Oil on pine panel
209 × 81 cm
Madrid, Spain

Soft brushwork renders Eve's pale, idealized nude body in contrapposto stance, her delicate features and flowing hair catching golden light. Dürer's 1507 panel established the Northern Renaissance female nude as both classical ideal and intimate study, influencing centuries of European figure painting.
