The Uffizi Galleries in Florence have redisplayed and reframed Lucas Cranach the Elder's Adam and Eve for a special display on the second floor of the museum. Although the pair are apparently unrelated, as Cranach and his workshop are known to have produced 50 versions of the composition, the curators had decided to reframe and display them as if they were conceived as a pair (with the tree of knowledge visible in the centre also making this possible).
