EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the Old Testament that has intrigued and fascinated viewers for centuries. Painted by Bartolo di Fredi, also known as Manfredi de Battilori, this fresco titled "Scene from the Old Testament: The forbidden fruit" is located in the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta in San Gimignano, Italy. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history - Adam and Eve's temptation by the forbidden fruit. With meticulous attention to detail, Bartolo di Fredi brings this ancient story to life through his masterful brushstrokes. The vibrant colors and intricate composition draw us into the narrative, allowing us to witness firsthand the consequences of human curiosity. Intriguingly, amidst lush greenery stands the infamous tree bearing forbidden fruit. A halo surrounds Adam and Eve as they stand before it, symbolizing their divine connection prior to succumbing to temptation. Meanwhile, a cunning devil lurks nearby with an aura of malevolence. This piece not only showcases Bartolo di Fredi's artistic prowess but also serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil. It invites contemplation on themes of free will, sin, and redemption found within religious texts. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness one of Christianity's most iconic stories unfold before our eyes.
