Series of 2 photographs Fratelli Alinari Creation and Temptation of Eve

A pair of old colourised photographs published by the prestigious Fratelli Alinari in Florence, reproducing two Flemish tapestries preserved at the Galleria Antica e Moderna. This set includes two consecutive references that are particularly complementary: No. 1751 – The Creation of Eve. No. 1752 – The Temptation of Eve and Original Sin. Presented in identical frames measuring 36 X 30 cm, these two photographs form a coherent iconographic suite illustrating the early episodes of the Genesis narrative. Their old colouring highlights the richness of the compositions, the intricacy of the plant and animal details, as well as the remarkable decorative borders of the original Flemish tapestries. Printed references: Ed. Alinari P. 2 No. 1751 – La creazione di Eva. Ed. Alinari P. 2 No. 1752 – Tentazione d'Eva e il peccato originale. An uncommon subject. The two references are rarely found together, which enhances the decorative and collectible interest of the set.
