Fernando Botero – Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve – Fernando Botero
Adam and Eve is a painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured Adam and Eve standing arm in arm before the tree with the serpent. We paint our hand-painted study of Adam and Eve to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 60 × 70 cm to 183 × 219 cm or in a custom size. Before Adam and Eve is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Adam and Eve show?
Adam and Eve shows them both from behind, holding each other in front of a dark tree; Adam reaches up towards the fruit in the leaves, and a red serpent winds through the branches. Botero tells the familiar Bible story with full bodies, warm colours and gentle humour, which is why Adam and Eve feels tender and smiling.
How is our hand-painted study of Adam and Eve made?
Our painters paint the study of Adam and Eve by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Adam and Eve has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Adam and Eve is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Adam and Eve suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Adam and Eve in 90 × 110 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 60 × 70 cm. Adam and Eve is available in 60 × 70 cm, 70 × 80 cm, 80 × 100 cm, 90 × 110 cm, 100 × 120 cm, 120 × 140 cm, 150 × 180 cm and 183 × 219 cm. A simple rule for Adam and Eve: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Adam and Eve arrive, and when?
We ship Adam and Eve rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed – you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of Adam and Eve are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Adam and Eve is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Adam and Eve painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
