Attributed to Antônio Francisco Lisboa, "Aleijadinho" (Brazil, 1730 / 1738 - 1814)
"Adam and Eve"
Pair of carved and polychromed wooden sculptures. 84 x 50 x 45 cm. and 87 x 47 x 32 cm.
Scene from the iconographic cycle of the story of Adam and Eve, told in chapters 2 and 3 of Genesis in the Old Testament. Eve stands, resting against the tree, holding the apple of original sin in her right hand and bringing her left hand to her chest as she slightly leans her head in a gesture of heaviness because she repents for the sin she has just committed. Adam begs for forgiveness with his look, as he raises his left hand. The scene depicts the shame of Adam and Eve, who cover themselves with leaves to hide themselves from God’s eyes.
