Hardham: Adam And Eve And The Serpent

[poliphilo]

The best preserved of the Hardham murals is this- of Adam and Eve and the serpent. At some point the chancel arch was enlarged and the serpent lost its tail- otherwise....

I don't have anything more to say except that it makes me think of Picasso.

Picasso, yes, and also Braque in some ways. Lovely thing.

The cubists did look back to early medieval art. Picasso got into trouble as a young man for "borrowing" a piece of Romanesque sculpture from the Louvre.

I'd forgotten that story. Very Picasso. *grin*
