Everyman is a play written around 1500. A a morality play, it deals with the story of Everyman who is summoned Death.
The play begins with God (Adonai) who calls Death and tells him to call Everyman to his day of reckoning.
Abrecht Durer
(1471-1528), a German artist famous for his etchings and watercolors,
created Adam and Eve [1507], one of the inspirations for the paper
doll. Durer spent a lot of energy trying to establish a geometrical canon
of proportions that would describe the ideal human body.
