| Notes |
Dürer derived Adam’s form from the "Apollo Belvedere;" Eve was based on his analysis of the "Medici Venus." The five states of this engraving, an unusually high number for Dürer , together with the large number of preparatory drawings (see cat. nos. 88-90) document the particular care with which Dürer planned the design. It represents the culmination of his study of a system of human proportion seen in his slightly earlier drawings, cat. nos. 70 and 84 and displays his mastery of the engraving technique. Dürer 's pride in it is displayed in the longest, most prominent inscription he ever made on an engraving. |
