Description:
|
|
The large canvas represents the climax of Wenzel Peter's career. His specialty was as an animal painter; the theme of the Garden of Eden allowed him to show over 200 animals with both an extraordinary naturalism, and a detailed knowledge and scientific precision. In 1831 Gregory XVI (pontiff from 1831 to 1846) purchased twenty of Peter's works to furnish the Room of the Consistory in the Papal State Apartment.
