Through his careful study of Dürer’s prints, Marcantonio developed and perfected his own engraved line; this drawing of a male nude is a copy after Dürer’s 1504 engraving Adam and Eve. Marcantonio diverged from Dürer’s print significantly by altering the proportions of the figure and creatively converting Dürer’s wiry, Nordic Adam into a robust Italianate armless statue (evoking Dürer’s antique source, the Apollo Belvedere sculpture in the Vatican)—while also preserving his chest hair. ","remarks":"Italian Drawings"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Special Exhibition","textentryhtml":"Dürer’s print depicts the fateful moment in the biblical narrative when Eve, having been tricked by Satan in the guise of a serpent, disobeys God and offers Adam the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Their disobedience led to the couple’s expulsion from Paradise, an event known as the Fall of Man. In the lower portion of the image, four animals represent the four temperaments, or humors, that were thought to govern the human condition after the Fall: the rabbit (sanguine), the bull (phlegmatic), the cat (choleric), and the elk (melancholic). This ancient theory, which prevailed throughout Dürer’s time, posited that an individual’s personality and ailments were determined by the predominant humor in their body—signified by blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Practitioners would assess the balance or imbalance of these humors when considering appropriate treatment.","remarks":"States of Health"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Gallery Label","textentryhtml":"Dürer acquired fame and fortune throughout Europe with his technically superb and highly imaginative prints. His lifelong preoccupation with the construction and proportions of the human figure is reflected in several engravings featuring male and female nudes, including this celebrated example, in which Adam and Eve are shown in nearly symmetrical and idealized poses. Dürer’s mastery of the engraving technique
is demonstrated in the skillful rendition of different textures, including human and snake skin, animal fur, and tree bark.","remarks":"K1-3 Rotation October 2018"}],"datebegin":1504,"sortnumber":"1960 28x","published_date":"2026-03-05 08:38:56.527585","objectid":10202,"dimensions":"plate: 24.8 × 19.2 cm.
