Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Renaissance fresco in Brancacci Chapel, Florence, Italy
The fresco depicts Adam and Eve leaving Eden, with their bodies rendered in natural proportions and displaying intense emotional expressions.
Between 1424 and 1427, Masaccio painted this scene as part of a larger commission for the wealthy silk merchant Felice Brancacci.
The painting exemplifies the transition from medieval to Renaissance art through its anatomical precision and natural light treatment.
The fresco stands 208 centimeters tall and 88 centimeters wide, located in the upper section of the Brancacci Chapel walls.
In 1670, fig leaves were painted over the nude figures, but a 1990s restoration returned the fresco to its original state.
