Giovanni di Paolo's 1445 painting, "The Creation of the World and the Expulsion from Paradise", depicts the biblical story of creation and the Fall of Man. God, depicted as a winged figure, creates the world in a circular, layered form, while Adam and Eve, flanked by an angel, are expelled from the Garden of Eden. This small, yet detailed, artwork showcases Giovanni di Paolo's mastery of Sienese painting, evident in the intricate landscape and the use of gold leaf.
