"Original Sin" by Michiel van Coxie is a significant work of art by the Flemish Renaissance painter, known for his contributions to the Northern Renaissance and his influence by Italian masters. Michiel van Coxie, often referred to as the Flemish Raphael, was born in Mechelen and became one of the leading figures in Flemish art during the 16th century. His painting "Original Sin" is an exemplar of his adept skill in translating the complex narratives and stylistic elements of the Italian Renaissance into the Flemish artistic tradition.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of the Original Sin from the Book of Genesis, where Adam and Eve are shown in the Garden of Eden, having just partaken of the forbidden fruit. This moment, which is considered pivotal in Christian theology, is captured with a profound sense of drama and attention to detail that is characteristic of Coxie's work. The figures of Adam and Eve are typically rendered with a sense of classical idealism, reflecting Coxie's study of Italian masters such as Michelangelo and Raphael.

While the exact date of creation for "Original Sin" is not definitively known, it is believed to have been painted during the height of Coxie's career, when he had fully assimilated the Italian influences into his own Northern European artistic language. The painting is noted for its harmonious composition, the delicate rendering of the human form, and the vivid portrayal of the lush environment of Eden, all of which demonstrate Coxie's mastery of oil painting techniques and his ability to convey complex theological themes through art.

"Original Sin" by Michiel van Coxie is considered an important work in the study of Northern Renaissance art, as it exemplifies the cross-cultural exchange between the Italian and Flemish schools of painting and highlights the artist's role in the dissemination of Renaissance ideals north of the Alps. The painting is not only a testament to Coxie's individual talent but also a reflection of the broader cultural and artistic developments of the 16th century in Europe.
