About the sculpture
This is a relief in Solnhofen limestone made by Loy Hering in about 1530-1535 in Eichstätt in the Franconian area of South Germany. It depicts the Fall of Man. Loy Hering (about 1485 - about 1554) worked in Eichstätt for nearly forty years. In Eichstätt, as in Augsburg, Nuremberg and numerous other South German cities, there existed a great demand for small-scale sculptures in materials such as Solnhofen stone. The composition, showing Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, is adapted from a woodcut by Hans Baldung Green, dated 1511.
