DÜRER, Albrecht: Small Passion: 1. The Fall

🖼 Small Passion: 1. The Fall, 1511
Woodcut
London, United Kingdom

Intricate woodcut rendering depicts Adam and Eve in Eden's garden, their bodies intertwined with serpent and tree in delicate cross-hatching. Dürer's Small Passion series established the northern Renaissance printmaking tradition, merging classical proportion with northern detail to explore humanity's first transgression.
