Salvador Viniegra and Lasso de la Vega.

“Painted in Rome as an exercise in fulfilling the requirements of a residential grant, which explains the pronounced academicism of the nude figure of Adam, Viniegra's canvas presents the image of Eve as the bearer of original sin and the cause of humanity's expulsion from the Paradise.

Attention is focused on her copious flowing hair, linked by tradition to female seduction, which was still considered in the late 19th century to be responsible for the loss of male innocence.”
