Do that here and we get a kind of flash-forward to the way that Eden will look after A and E have been shown the door. For the moment though, they are inescapably there — and they are very naked.
Let's look at them individually. First, there is the disconcerting realisation that Adam bears an uncanny resemblance to the young Sebastian Faulks, author of Birdsong. This, I think, has to do with the woman's absolute hairlessness — except for her quite implausible hairstyle.
She is as waxed, shaved and depilated as a malnourished porn star. No one has brought out the sexual component of the fall more powerfully than John Milton. However such pairings of animals that usually prey on one another further reinforces the sense of harmony in this earthly paradise. Lucas Cranach the Elder was born in Kronach, Germany, and it is from the name of his home town that his surname is taken. We know very little for certain of his early life, although he visited Vienna in and in was appointed court painter to Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony, a position he held for the rest of his life.
The Saxon court was in Wittenberg, officially known as Lutherstadt since because of the close connections between the court and the Protestant Reformation. His religious paintings reflect this loyalty.
The use of animals as symbols relates the painting back to Medieval bestiaries, in which animals were accompanied by a short verse suggesting their symbolic nature. Whilst he had never seen a lion this must have been painted from pictures , the roe deer in the foreground is recognisable to the exact species, which is faithful to one mate.
Here, drinking from the stream, it also recalls Psalm 42, which compares a parched deer to the longing of the Christian soul for God. About Eve Lucas Agents: At Home With Diversity.
