Adam en Eva verdreven uit het paradijs 1614 - 1616

"Adam en Eva verdreven uit het paradijs," a pen-and-ink drawing by Gerard ter Borch, depicts the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Created between 1614 and 1616, this artwork showcases the artist's skill in capturing the drama of the biblical narrative. The detailed rendering of Adam and Eve's figures and the expressive lines used to depict their sorrow and despair highlight the human cost of their transgression. The background, suggestive of a lush garden, further underscores the sense of loss and expulsion. This small-scale drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful testament to the enduring impact of the biblical story on art and culture.
