Abstract
This paper is concerned with the painting technique used for The Garden of Eden with the Fall of Man (c. 1616), a collaborative work by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Peter Paul Rubens. It is proposed here that the underdrawing is by Brueghel, who came up with the concept and took the initiative for this joint production. Adam and Eve, the Tree of Wisdom, the Serpent and a horse were painted by Rubens. It is suggested also that Rubens executed his part first. Brueghel, in a second sequence, added the landscape and the animals based not only on his own studies but also on drawings by Rubens. Brueghel subtly integrated Rubens’s work within his own. -- SCMRE
