Klimt rarely engaged with biblical subjects during his career. One of his last works, unfinished at his death, shows the first humans, Adam and Eve. He was not interested in the more traditional depiction of the Fall, however, instead focusing on the figure of Eve as the quintessential female. Adam has closed his eyes, intoxicated with love, as he tilts his head and nestles tenderly against Eve. But Eve is looking straight at us. The anemones on the ground are emblems of fertility; the leopard skin, meanwhile, was a symbol in ancient Greece of unbridled desire. In Klimt’s interpretation, then, it is Eve—and not the snake—who is the temptress.Painting106624873196Upper Belvedereimage/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/160537/fullimage/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Restaurierung / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/152135/fullimage/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Restaurierung / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/152138/fullimage/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Restaurierung / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/152136/fullimage/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Restaurierung / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/152133/fullimage/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Restaurierung / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/152134/fullimage/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Restaurierung / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/152137/fullhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-3196/manifest
