Adam and Eve, Two Takes


Snakes entwined with women (and sometimes men) are a recurrent theme in Franz von Stuck's work.  Obviously, he wasn't about to let the Adam and Eve biblical fairy tale pass him by.  Above, we have his 1920 painted version, and below, an 1893 relief sculpture.  Eve is pretty much the same in both,
but we get two very different versions of Adam.
