    description: The figures of Adam and Eve were carved separately and then set into the base. They are derived from Albrecht Dürer's enormously influential and often-copied <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">engraving</u>. Dürer himself based his representations of the first man, whom the Old Testament describes as made "in the image of <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">god</u>," on a then-famous antique statue of the Olympian <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">god</u> most known for his beauty, Apollo. The carver was probably not aware of the classical source for Dürer's Adam; he certainly made the proportions chunkier. In general, <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">wood</u> carvers were little influenced by the aesthetic norms of classical sculpture.

These breathtakingly detailed compositions are among the most intense expressions of the Ancients’ artistic sensibility. In the idyllic landscape of The Bride, a nymphlike figure stands upon the bank of a meandering brook.
