Massaccio (1424-1427 A.D.)
Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden
Fresco
In this work, Massacio depicts a scene in which an angel wielding a sword casts Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. Their posture and facial expressions display embarrassment and despair. The background of the image is uncertain, hinting at the unknown and desolate world which they will inhabit. This fresco piece is successful in both its representation of human form and its Biblical message.
