The heroes of this picture are trying to know life and enjoy the moment, because at this moment they experience heavenly delight. They are surrounded by a fabulous garden in which the tree of knowledge is located. The animal life, which is depicted in the picture, has a hidden meaning, for example, the lion – the king of beasts, standing near Adam, is a symbol of the masculine, and the doe, next to Eve, is the feminine. The area where the characters are located is a real paradise, where harmony and spirituality can be traced. This calm and serenity hides a real storm, which no one is waiting. This pleasure will not last long, because Eve was never able to know what is good and what is evil. The picture truly makes you think about many things and think about your mistakes, which can be decisive. Adam and Eve symbolize the sinful trait of humanity, which chose temporary power in exchange for endless heavenly pleasure. Viktor Vasnetsov ( 1848 - 1926) was a Russian artist, He was one of the key figures in the evolution of Russian art in the nineteenth century as it moved from realism to something that was more in the style of Art Nouveau.In later years he worked in Kiev with Mikhail Vrubel, whose work was admired by many Symbolists.
