Francesco Salviati, also known as "Cecchino", created the fresco "Expulsion from Paradise" in 1550. The painting depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden after disobeying God. An angel, wielding a flaming sword, forces the couple out of paradise, while Eve, clutching her chest, is visibly distraught. Salviati's dramatic composition and expressive figures convey the anguish and regret of the event, highlighting the consequences of disobedience and the pain of separation from God.
