The artwork titled “ADAM AND EVE UNDER THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE” was created by Ernst Fuchs in 1984. It belongs to the art movement known as Fantastic Realism and is categorized as a religious painting.
The artwork vividly illustrates the biblical scene of Adam and Eve under the Tree of Knowledge. The central focus is on Adam and Eve, depicted in a surreal manner with vibrant, fluid lines and an extraordinary use of color, embodying the style of Fantastic Realism. The tree, central in the background, appears almost otherworldly with its intertwining branches and serpentine details. Surrounding them, lush, dark foliage creates a mystical, almost foreboding atmosphere. The presence of a serpentine figure further enhances the religious symbolism inherent in the scene. The overall composition, with its ethereal quality and intense colors, draws the viewer into a fantastical interpretation of this iconic story.
