Adam and Eve is a pair of paintings by German Renaissance master Lucas Cranach the Elder, dating from 1528,[1] housed in the Uffizi, Florence, Italy.
The two biblical ancestors are portrayed, in two different panels, on a dark background, standing on a barely visible ground. Both hold two small branches which cover their sexual organs. Eve holds the traditional apple, with the serpent coming to her from above from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam is shown scratching the right crown part of his scalp.
