About the piece
Painted by Claude-Marie Dubufe in 1827, this neoclassical work captures the profound despair of the Fall of Man. Adam and Eve are shown huddled in a darkened, stormy wilderness, their luminous forms contrasting sharply with the brooding shadows and the presence of a watchful lion, emphasizing the loss of their peaceful sanctuary.
