Fall of Man," also known as "Adam and Eve," is a copperaving created by Albrecht Dürer in 1504. The work follows a well-established German tradition of depicting the biblical characters of Adam and Eve in full-length portraits. This tradition dates back to the early15th century when the theme was depicted a series of woodcuts and metalcuts.

The engraving measures 25.4cm by 19.1cm and depicts Adam and Eve in the moments before the Fall of Man. In the foreground of the, Adam and Eve are portrayed standing beside the Tree of Knowledge, distinguishable by the serpent wound around its branches. The couple appears self-conscious, their gazes avoid each other as they stand beneath the heavy branches of the tree which dominates the composition.

The background of the scene is filled with an array of animals, a deer, a rabbit, an ox, and a cat among them. Their portrayal resembles a peaceful scene from nature, with the cat and mouse in harmony, a clear reference to the notable theme of the Garden of Eden being a paradise where all animals lived in harmony. Dürer's careful attention to detail and the realistic depiction of animals refers not just to his skillful observational studies but also to the four humours theory of the time.

In terms of style, Dürer's application of Late Gothic meticulous detail with the early Renaissance understanding of anatomy and perspective is seen in his creation of Adam and Eve's bodies which are modeled after ancient Roman sculpture. The bodies are granted a certain monumentality thanks to the broad, clear lines, accenting their musculature and the slight twist in their stance. The work arguably influences further developments in Northern European art, representing a synthesis of the detailed observation of nature with the Classical ideals of beauty.

"The Fall of Man" is one of the best-known works of Albrecht Dürer, a seminal figure in the Northern Renaissance, combining great technical skill with rich symbolic and philosophical underpinnings. The print can be found in different museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum in London. Its masterful combination of detail, philosophical contemplation, and technical skill marks it as a standout work in Dürer's oeuvre and the broader tradition of Renaissance art.
