Roland Savery - (Landscape and Animals) - Attributed... Lot n° 35

Roelant Savery was a chamber painter of Rudolf II, in Prague. He is famous for his landscapes with numerous animals. The dense forest landscape with many animals in this image refers to his style. The light bodies of Adam and Eve stand out against the background of a dark forest. The blonde, seductively beautiful Eve faces the viewer in front, while the seated Adam is turned on his back. Eve, smiling, her eyes downcast, gives Adam an apple from the tree of knowledge that the snake offers her. The lion still lives here in paradise with other animals.
