Eve

Basaiti Marco

(Venice c. 1470 - after 1530)

Pendant to the Adam (inv.129), the painting was part of Scipione Borghese’s collection. Several fragmentary, no longer visible, letters in the scroll on the trunk of the tree next to Eve have been read as "Zambellin", the diminutive of the famous painter Giovanni Bellini. However, in 1925 the panels were assigned to Bellini’s disciple Marco Basaiti, an attribution subsequently accepted by scholars. There are clear references to the engraving, drawings, and paintings portraying the same subjects by the great German artist Albrecht Dürer before, during, and right after his second stay in Venice (1505-1507).
