About the piece
Painted in 1627 by Domenico Passignano, this oil on canvas captures the pivotal biblical moment of the Expulsion from Paradise. The work is a testament to the late Italian Mannerist style, utilizing dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight the muscular forms and emotional anguish of Adam and Eve as they are cast out of Eden by a celestial messenger.
