Need artist name: Expulsion from Garden
JID
If I describe this painting, can you identify the artist and the full
title for me? It's an "Expulsion from the Garden of Eden" but I don't know
if that's the proper title. It's not the Masaccio (sp?) fresco, but it's a
famous painting of God pointing angrily at the couple as they walk out of
the Garden; Adam is looking back and I think Eve is hunched over
miserably.
If you have the answer to this, I would be very grateful for an e-mail. It
would be even better if you could point me to a URL that has an image, or
if you could even send me one if you have it, but even just the name of
the artist would help enormously. Or if you know a better forum in which
to post this question, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Close, but no. In the piece I'm thinking of, I believe Adam has his arm
around Eve, or he appears to be protecting her somehow, and he's
definitely looking back at God. I think it's from an earlier period than
Michelangelo.
Thanks though...

in the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence. It was by
Massacio and painted in the 1420s. It is one of the most moving of the
quattrocento paintings of this subject. If you ever get a chance to
visit Florence, don't miss it. Incidentally Adam's arms are held
upwards covering his face with both hands.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my original post,
the painting I'm looking for is not the Masaccio fresco. They're similar,
but it's not the same one. In the Masaccio, Adam's arms are indeed held
upwards, but in the one I'm thinking of, he IS looking back at God.
So I've ruled out Masaccio and Michelangelo...still searching for the artist...
Thanks for everyone's help though.

suggestion: "Adam and Eve Reproached by the Lord" from the Doors of Bishop
Bernward, Hildesheim Cathedral - bronze low relief - Ottonian period about
the year 1000? God has his hand out to berate Adam who is cringing and his
hand is pointing to Eve who is cringing and her hand is pointing to the
Snake.

I'd like to see that anyway... but yeah, I'm pretty sure what I'm looking
for is a painting. I'm going off a memory of a Xerox copy, so I can't even
use the color in the painting as a clue, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't
a bronze relief. Plus Adam and Eve are sort of in it together more than in
the image you describe.
Thanks for the idea though!

Aha...I think this is what I'm looking for. At least the piece I'm
thinking of is very like Dürer's style -- not having it in front of me, I
can't recall exactly, but I'm pretty sure this is it. Thank you, thank
you!
