Adam and Eve (Saint-Sauveur)

Adam and Eve window in Saint-Sauveur

The Adam and Eve window in the Catholic parish church of Sainte-Trinité in Saint-Sauveur , a French commune in the Oise department in the Hauts-de-France region , was created in the first half of the 16th century. In 1906, the stained glass window was added to the list of protected objects ( Base Palissy ) in France as Monument historique .

The window No. 5 in the choir with two lancets is 1.80 meters high and 1.40 meters wide. It comes from an unknown workshop. The window shows Adam on the left and Eve on the right in a garden with a landscape in the background, both are shown naked. Eve offers Adam an apple and by eating the apple both of them commit the fall .

The scene is framed by an ornamental border made of grisaille and silver solder in the style of the Renaissance . The head on Eve's side was added to fill in a space during restoration in the 19th century.
