Adam and Eve (Tintoretto)
Adam and Eve (Italian: Adamo ed Eva), also known as The Temptation of Adam, Original Sin, and The Fall of Man, may refer to either of two similar works by the Venetian painter Tintoretto: an oil painting in the collection of the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, made around 1550–1553; and a panel in the ceiling of the Upper Hall of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, made around 1577–1578. First version 
For the Scuola della Trinità, Tintoretto painted four or five pictures depicting subjects taken from the Book of Genesis, having reference to the creation of the world; of which two are preserved untouched, and now hang on either side of Titian's Assumption in the Academy at Venice. These are The Death of Abel and Adam and Eve, of which William Roscoe Osler writes:

John Ruskin expresses his admiration in terms of enthusiasm:

The second picture, representing Eve in the act of offering the apple to Adam, has been admired for the beauty of the flesh painting. Second version 

Tintoretto painted another version for the ceiling of the Upper Hall of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco. Ian Holbourn calls the work "sketchy but very strong"; Evelyn March Phillipps describes the painting thus:
