How does this painting of Adam and Eve reflect European views of nature?
What will be an ideal response?
The painting shows two people among the wild animals, about to eat an apple from a tree. This reflects the belief that nature existed as a resource for humans to tame and exploit. The animals depicted are surrounding Adam and Eve, as in a form of reverence. This goes along with the Europeans' belief that people had a God-given right to rule over nature, i.e., have "dominion . . . over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
