Temptation of Adam and Eve, Renaissance fresco in Brancacci Chapel, Florence, Italy.
The fresco portrays Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, with Eve receiving the forbidden fruit from a serpent with golden hair.
Masolino da Panicale created this fresco between 1424 and 1425 as part of the decorative program commissioned by Pietro Brancacci for his family chapel.
The fresco demonstrates the transition from Gothic to Renaissance art through its representation of human figures and spatial composition techniques.
The artwork measures 208 centimeters in height and 88 centimeters in width, requiring visitors to look upward for proper viewing.
Eve's pose in the fresco follows the Venus Pudica position, connecting early Christian narrative with classical Roman artistic traditions.
