The Explusion from Paradise

About this work

The painting shows a scene of Adam and Eve being expelled from Paradise. It's an engraving, which is a technique where the artist carves a design into a metal plate. The details in this work are interesting because the artist used a lot of lines to create texture and depth, which was a challenging thing to do with engraving at that time. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Lucas van Leyden.
