Adam and Eve and Gideon and the Fleece are two life-sized Old Testament paintings by the Low Countries Dutch Renaissance painter Maarten (or Maerten) van Heemskerck. They are on display in the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg, France. Their inventory numbers are 1747b (Adam and Eve) and 1747a (Gideon). Adam's muscular build and Gideon's dramatic posture are reminiscent of works by Michelangelo and his imitators that Heemskerck had seen in Rome. * Inverted view... * ...of the panels. * The reverse panels (Rotterdam): The Visitation
