Adam and Eve by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer.

Completed in 1507, the work followed a 1504 copper engraving by Durer on the same subject, one which offered Durer the opportunity to depict the ideal human figure. Painted in Nuremberg soon after his return from Venice, the panels were influenced by Italian art. Durer's observations on his second trip to Italy provided him with new approaches to portraying the human form. Here, he depicts Adam and Eve at human scale—the first full-scale nude subjects in German painting.

Adam and Eve's first home was the Prague Castle, the property of collector Rudolf II. During theThirty Years' War, armies plundered the castle and the panels came to be owned by Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. His daughter, Christina, gave the work to Philip IV of Spain in 1654. Later King Charles III ordered in 1777 that the painting be hidden in the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. It arrived at its current home, Madrid's Museo del Prado, in 1827, but was not publicly displayed until 1833.

In today's realistic painting use machine instead of eyes and hands?

Is worthy of attention, as the change of times, people aesthetic field expands unceasingly, the diversified development trend, art and "behavior art" "installation art" "new media art" rise "concept art" "earth art", art field expands unceasingly, ceaselessly new art form, but mostly is not Country sence oil painting. Is art in Europe is also in question how art and continue to develop in the future, confused, hesitation and doubt.

Modern art is exquisite, planar plane, but from the perspective of the art of painting, exquisite graphic sex to apply, but in the compression of the color relations, concise, overall drawing planar. This plane is not a simple flat coated, or modelling relations simplification will be losing their artistic expression and the shape of fat and so on.

Photographic images while photographer perspective can be selected and the actual conversion, but the camera is basically natural objects as the object, through mechanical image, which is formed by the theory of optical imaging it plausible but is passive; The image of a painting form is the feeling of the artist through the heart of objects, eyes, hands, heart of synergy, summarized and refined by the artistic process and creation of artistic image, such as plastic arts appeal.
Today, we have emphasized and lay emphasis on this problem and has its realistic necessity. For example, we see a lot in the contemporary art copy the western pattern of graphic works. So only aware of the rules of the development of the art and oil painting art characteristics, follow the time development, constantly have new creation, and permanent artistic glamour. When we say that in the creation of information collection, the painter in addition to the sketch, camera does provide many help to create, but, after all, the machine does not take the place of our thinking. Here I want to reference the associate professor at the central academy of fine Sun Tao recorded his with Russian artists Andre scola ke a conversation.

Especially some realistic oil painting and contemporary art works, today more visible to the use of a lot of pictures or photo print processing, even with a figment of the so-called new ideas, to achieve the so-called shock effect. Because of the lack of real experience of life and the study of painting expressive force, only an empty concept, with the noise of a bubble breakage, must eventually will be eliminated by history. In addition to the composition of the content to be close to and reflect the contemporary social life and as well as the spiritual world of contemporary art way out is to vigorously develop the function of its own - painting expertise, with our eyes and mind to observe social, with our eyes, heart, hand, the combination of spirit and skills, to make the clever passion, colorful artistic effect.
