About the piece
Created in 1887, this oil painting by James Ensor captures the Expulsion from Paradise with a focus on ethereal light and atmospheric tension. The composition is dominated by a radiant, swirling celestial event that dwarfs the small figures of Adam and Eve, showcasing Ensor's early interest in luminous color and proto-Expressionist technique.
