Focus on this artwork and analyze the Description.
The materials used for the painting were tempera paint on a wood panel.  The height is 62.5 cm (24.6 in) and the width is 79 cm (31.1 in). The engraving by Delaune was partially replicated. Adam and Eve, the serpent, and the tree were imported by Poulakis from the sketch-like printed engraving.  The artist creatively animated the wood panel with a lavish landscape filled with birds and shrubbery.  In the background, a peach castle appears inlaid with brilliant variations of the color.  The color shading on the figures humanizes both Adam and Eve as they stand in the foreground.  The artist clearly illustrates a complex three-dimensional image.  Eve looks up at the half man half snake as it waves at her while Adam bites the apple.   Eve gazes at the serpent with a hypnotized sense of desire.  The tree and serpent occupy the middle ground.  Both Adam and Eve feature sculpted anatomies.  Their bodies are well-toned.  The artist adds roses and a water fountain to his landscape.  Poulakis and his contemporaries viewed pictorial expression based on observation.  The Fall of Man resonates the idea that the visual world must be observed before it could be analyzed and understood.
