Analyze

Albrecht Durer

Adam and Eve

🌀The dark background is a contrast from the bodies of Adam and Eve
🌀The fruit in their hands has organic shape.
🌀Adam and Eve's bodies have complex shape
🌀The bodies and canvas shape show vertical direction.
🌀The ground that they stand on is almost a completely straight line showing a geometric shape.
🌀The ground and the background create edge line

Describe

🌀The dark background emphasizes the complex shape of Adam and Eve's bodies
🌀The level ground in both paintings shows balance between the two works of art.
🌀The angles of their limbs and bodies direct one's eye from Adam to Eve and back

Interpret

I think that the nude bodies show how innocent Adam and Eve felt in the Garden of Eden. The bare bodies also show God's creation in its most basic form.
