Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Glad for you..............
Imthink,because in some societies that were around when the artists painted them, “robust” bodies were seen as more desireable than skinny annorexic bodies. A number of famous artists painted heavier women, some of them quite beautifully.
I wonder,if the animals knew what was happening when eve was being tempted by Satan? I wonder if they sensed something wasn’t right.
At the time of the paintings....corpulent women were more attractive....extra weight for child bearing during low food supply episodes.....IMHO...
Is like the run in 8-9-10…for completely different reasons. I can’t look at the Rembrandt without seeing Hobbits…I think Raphael depicting the serpent as female is quite thought-provoking…and the Grien (again, two days in a row) with the facial expressions and bringing into the painting Adam’s newly dark - fallen - sexual “drive”.
Interesting thought, since Adam was given dominion and named them (gave them their identity in a manner), his fall had to be at least felt in some manner. Their world began to change as well.
I’m just reminded of the donkey that spoke,out against its master when he beat it for stopping in the road when jt saw thr angel of the lord standing there. I thought is strange that the rider didn’t think it odd that his donkey was speaking to him (maybe he did find it odd and shocking, and it just wasn’t recorded?)
Also, animals obey God’s commands, so I just wondered how in touch with the spiritual world theymwere and if they knew something bad was going down, and how it might have affected them mentally. Their wolrd sure did change drastically.
Well-explained, Scott. Thanks.

‘Tis a sad story but a true one, Tom.
and Man is the Only creature to Stand with Clenched Fists and Defy the
All Mighty God.
.
Isaiah 53
1Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him.
If that’s a verse about Christ, God among us, Immanuel, the Word says He had no stately form or majesty to attract. No beauty that we should desire Him..
And Satan’s description..
“Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
“You were the anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.
“By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.
“Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.
It would appear that the Son of God may not have looked as pretty or beautiful as Satan was..
But He doesn’t look upon the appearances.
He sees whats inside..
1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”
Have you seen any depictions of the ‘fruit’ being the grape in your searches?
Apples, apples, always apples. If you will paint one showing grape(s), we can post it here.
I have only seen one of your selections that I could maybe, kinda, duplicate..
It was Adam and Eve and they looked small and distant..
I could get my stick figures to sort of look like them.
But the artist did have some amazing looking swirls of color that I could not recreate..Unless a paint by number template could be created..
If you don't have ten grand lying around to pay a professional artist, go to an art class at your local high school or college and start someone's career.
Who dreamed up the apple orchard? The orgy took place in a fig grove…. So much deception in color.
Regardless of location, doesn't an "orgy" necessitate more than two participants?
