Item description

The large painting depicts the expulsion from Earthly Paradise. Adam and Eve are depicted in the foreground, occupying a good part of the scene with their powerful physicality. The man has his head bowed, with an expression of shame and despair, his left hand covering his groin with fig leaves, while with the other he holds the hand of his partner, who is instead depicted in an attitude of desperation, the head thrown back and one hand covering his face. They walk on sharp rocks, while behind them they leave lush meadows and green hills; against the sky stands the imperious figure of the cherub holding the "flaming sword, to guard the way to the tree of life" (Genesis 3, 24). Signed and dated: “AUGUSTO COLOMBO 1936”.
