"Adam and Eve" is a pair of panel paintings by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, believed to have been completed around 1432. These panels depict the biblical figures of Adam and Eve and are renowned for their intricate detail, use of symbolism, and pioneering oil painting technique. They were originally part of a larger work, the Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, which was painted for the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, and is considered one of van Eyck's masterpieces and a landmark of Western art.

The "Adam and Eve" panels are significant for their lifelike representation and the use of naturalism, which was a departure from the more stylized figures common in medieval art. Van Eyck's skill in rendering the human form with such realism was unprecedented at the time and showcases his mastery of oil paint, a medium that allowed for greater manipulation of light and detail. Each figure is depicted in a contrapposto stance, standing in niches that resemble Gothic architecture, with their nudity modestly covered by strategically placed fig leaves.

The panels are also notable for their symbolic elements. Adam and Eve are shown just before the Fall of Man, with the inclusion of various details that allude to their impending sin and the consequences for humanity. For example, the presence of the serpent and the choice of specific animals in the background have been interpreted as having allegorical significance.

Throughout the centuries, the "Adam and Eve" panels have been the subject of extensive art historical research and analysis, contributing to the understanding of Northern Renaissance art and the oeuvre of Jan van Eyck. Their influence extends beyond their immediate historical context, as they have inspired countless artists and have been referenced in discussions on humanism, theology, and the development of European painting.

Today, the "Adam and Eve" panels remain with the rest of the Ghent Altarpiece, which has undergone various restoration efforts to preserve its condition. The altarpiece, including the "Adam and Eve" panels, is celebrated for its artistic achievement and continues to attract scholars and visitors from around the world, serving as a testament to Jan van Eyck's enduring legacy in the history of art.
