Albrecht Dürer

Adam and Eve, by Albrecht Dürer, 1504
The image features a celestial scene with multiple figures depicted from head to waist. Two central figures are engaged in a conversation amidst clouds. One figure appears seated, possibly on a throne, holding a book. Both figures have long hair and beards. The robes worn by the figures are detailed. Other figures surround them in a semi-circle, some wearing crowns, holding items like bowls. Heavenly hosts with wings are seen above. The background shows a detailed landscape with trees, a river, and castles nestled in hills.
Arm of Eve, by Albrecht Dürer, 1507
Head of a Young Woman, by Albrecht Dürer, 1522
A work made of woodcut in black on tan laid paper.
