Painting_"Adam And Eve In The Garden Of Eden" Urgent Help Requested! Art Dopers?

In this

BBC news article, a painting “Adam And Eve In The Garden Of Eden” is used as an illustration. It is a partial image.

Where can I find the complete image?

Who is the artist?

I found myself very moved by the expressions on their faces. Even touched.

I really, really want to get a print of this, to frame for my wall.

It’s rare for me to have such a strong emotional reaction to an image like this.

Can you help me, please?

If I were you, I’d contact the BBC directly & just ask them - I definitely don’t recognize that as a famous piece or as the style of an older, famous artist. To me it looks quite recent. It’s possible that one of the BBC staff artists did it, or it could have been a graphic artist from whom they request commissions. I’ve had the impression that many news outlets commission their illustrations.

The other possibility would be to search via Amazon.com - they have links to some big poster companies.

Good luck finding it - it’s great to hear that you’ve been moved by art!

I sent several e-mails to the BBC…no luck (yet).
Poster companies…hmmm…

No luck with the poster companies.

London Dopers—any of you got any BBC connections?

Looks like a nice picture.

I gave a shot looking through Google images, but like I’m sure you found, it’s a pretty popular subject for images.

Got a form letter from the BBC.

Any help from London Dopers?

It doesn’t look like any artist that I recognise. I think it is a commissioned illustration or from a picture library. The BBC are usually good at replying but give them some time. It’s the weekend and they get an awful lot of mail. I can’t find a phone number for the BBC website.

No luck so far.

Checked a variety of sites online.

Any clues?

I think I may have seen it on the wall of one of Saddam’s palaces… zing!

It could be a stock image. Of the two agencies I usually start with, Getty Images turned up nothing, and Corbis was down for maintenance – you can check with them later yourself. And if you’re really interested, there’s a whole passel of stock agencies listed on creativepro.com that you can look through. (I know it says “stock photography,” but many of them will also carry illustrations.)

Still hoping.

My home computer is down, so my ability to search from work is limited.
