Antique Painting with Religious Subject Oil on Canvas XVIII Century
Oil on canvas. The scene depicts the episode told in the biblical book of Genesis, of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, after they committed the sin of eating the forbidden fruit, fruit of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil. Aware of their nakedness, the man and woman are driven away by an archangel, with the sword of justice in his hand and surrounded by a cloud of fire, they walk shamefully and modestly into the world, represented in a Nordic landscape. The painting, restored and relined, is presented in an early 1900s frame, with carved and applied wooden decorations and friezes.
