CORNELIS VAN HAARLEM (b. 1562, Haarlem, d. 1638, Haarlem) |
The Fall of Man1592Oil on canvas, 273 x 220 cm Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam | |
Cornelis van Haarlem completed this painting in 1592 for the Prinsenhof in Haarlem, the stadholder's quarter in the city. Dürer's engraving served as a model for the composition, but Cornelis modified those idealised figures to make them fit the taste of his own day. |
