Adam & Eve

Adam & Eve have been produced entirely in polychrome marble. The two panels were commissioned by a Taiwanese client to be placed in the lobby of a residential building.

Represented  by Albrecht Durer on separate panels, Adam and Eve are considered the first life-size nudes in all of northern painting.

Both works constitutes an effort to synthesize what he learned in Italy in 1505, in search of a balance between Italian and Germanic approaches that would permit the ideal perfection of the human body.

Durer nuances the differences between the two bodies, using a tan color for the man's and a pinkish white one for the woman.
