"The Fall of Man" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius, completed in 1616. This work is a masterful example of the Mannerist style, which was characterized by its complex compositions, elongated figures, and sophisticated allegory. Goltzius, known for his virtuosity in engraving, depicts the biblical scene of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, capturing the pivotal moment of original sin that led to their expulsion from paradise.

In the engraving, Goltzius presents the figures of Adam and Eve with a high degree of anatomical precision and detail, a hallmark of his technical skill. The scene is rich with symbolic elements, including the serpent and the Tree of Knowledge, which play central roles in the narrative of temptation and fall. The composition reflects the influence of both classical art and the work of Goltzius's contemporaries, blending traditional iconography with the heightened emotion and drama typical of the late Renaissance.

"The Fall of Man" is not only a significant work in Goltzius's oeuvre but also an important piece within the broader context of Northern Renaissance art. It exemplifies the transition from the Renaissance ideals of harmony and proportion to the more expressive and dynamic approach of the Mannerist movement. The engraving is held in high regard for its artistic merit and for its contribution to the understanding of religious and mythological themes in early modern European art.

As an influential figure in the Dutch Golden Age of printmaking, Goltzius's "The Fall of Man" continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its impact on the development of engraving as a medium. The work is preserved in several major art collections and institutions around the world, where it is appreciated by scholars and the public alike for its enduring beauty and historical significance.
