"Adam and Eve" is a notable Renaissance painting created circa 1538 by the German artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance and a court painter to the Electors of Saxony. This work is one of several interpretations Cranach produced on the biblical theme of the Fall of Man, depicting the pivotal moment when Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, leading to their expulsion and the subsequent original sin that would be a central theme in Christian theology.

The painting is executed in oil on wood panel, a common medium for the period, and measures approximately 117 cm × 80 cm. Cranach's rendition of the subject is characterized by his distinctive style, which includes slender, elongated figures with somewhat stylized features and an attention to intricate details, particularly in the rendering of the lush Edenic landscape and the variety of animals that populate the scene, symbolizing the harmony of Creation before the Fall.

Cranach's "Adam and Eve" is notable for its iconography and the use of symbolism, such as the inclusion of the serpent and the Tree of Knowledge. The figures of Adam and Eve are presented in a poised, almost elegant manner, with their gestures and expressions capturing the moment of temptation and the gravity of their decision. The work reflects the humanist interests of the time, blending classical references with a northern European sensibility.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Courtauld Gallery in London, having been acquired by the institution in 1993. It is considered an important example of Cranach's religious works and contributes to the understanding of the visual culture of the Reformation period, during which the artist was an active participant. "Adam and Eve" by Lucas Cranach the Elder continues to be studied for its artistic merit, its theological implications, and its reflection of the social and cultural context in which it was created.
