EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, depicted in an illuminated manuscript called "Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans" created by Jean Colombe in 1490. Measuring at 225x155 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image portrays a female figure, Eve, standing alongside Adam as they are driven out from paradise by an angelic presence. The expressions on their faces reveal a mix of shame and sorrow for succumbing to temptation and committing the original sin. Stripped away from their innocence and nakedness exposed, they are banished from this heavenly abode forever. Colombe's meticulous illumination brings life to every detail within this scene - from the intricate gates that symbolize their separation from paradise to the surrounding angels witnessing their expulsion with solemnity. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's fallibility and our constant struggle between good and evil. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we cannot help but reflect on our own vulnerabilities as sinners while contemplating themes such as redemption and forgiveness. It is through art like this that we can delve into timeless narratives that continue to resonate with us today.
