detail from Michelangelo's fresco "The Fall of Man" from the Sistine Chapel ceiling
detail from Michelangelo's fresco "The Fall of Man" from the Sistine Chapel ceiling. It depicts Adam and Eve reaching for the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, which is intertwined with a serpent. Adam, a muscular male figure with blond hair, stands to the left, reaching towards Eve. Eve, a female figure with auburn hair, is seated in the foreground, her body turned towards Adam as she takes the fruit. The scene is set against a background of green foliage, rocks, and a blue sky. There is no indication of any connection to the city of Dilijan, Armenia.
