Title of the painting[edit]
The one cited reference for this article never uses the phrase "Fall of Man". Is the correct title for this painting "Adam and Eve"? WheresSnickers (talk) 13:35, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
- Generally, the idea that paintings of this age have a "correct" title is a mistake. Museums often change titles on whim, & several different titles are often used by various scholars. "Adam and Eve" suggests more portrait-like images, of the type Durer and others made famous. This is more a history painting, showing a specific moment in the narrative, and Fall of Man" is the usual traditional name for this moment. Johnbod (talk) 17:10, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
