EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of Adam and Eve's expulsion from paradise, as depicted in Gerard de Lairesse's renowned artwork. The scene unfolds with dramatic intensity, showcasing an angel wielding a flaming sword, symbolizing their banishment from the idyllic Garden of Eden. Part of a seven-part series illustrating scenes from the book of Genesis, this particular print showcases de Lairesse's exceptional talent for capturing emotion and storytelling through his etching technique. The intricate details and delicate lines on paper bring to life the anguish and despair on Adam and Eve's faces as they are forced to leave behind their blissful existence. Dating back to 1665, this print has stood the test of time, evoking deep reflection on themes such as temptation, consequences, and redemption found within biblical narratives. It serves as a timeless reminder that even in our most perfect moments, there can be unforeseen challenges that alter our course. Housed in Frankenthal since c. 1759-1762 before finding its place in the Liszt Collection today; this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its powerful imagery and profound symbolism. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished privately at home, this print invites contemplation about humanity's relationship with divinity while reminding us of the eternal struggle between good and evil.
