• BellaOnline's Art Appreciation Editor Camille Gizzarelli has enlightened readers as to what the scenes in the Desperate Housewives opening credits signify. "The show begins with Lucas Cranach the Elder's "Adam and Eve" (1526) where Adam is being crushed by the forbidden fruit (a giant apple). Then Egyptian hieroglyphics and the beginning of civilization. (Note the mother and her over zealous children.) Then appears Jan van Eyck's "Arnolfini Wedding" (1434) where the husband watches his wife sweep the floor." The full description can be found at BellaOnline.
