The Garden of Eden 1530

Lucas Cranach the Elder’s *The Garden of Eden* (1530) depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from Paradise. The scene is filled with symbolic imagery, including a variety of animals, lush foliage, and a prominent Tree of Knowledge. God is seen expelling Adam and Eve from the garden, while a serpent, representing temptation, is depicted on a nearby tree. Cranach’s *The Garden of Eden* is a prime example of the Northern Renaissance style, which emphasized detail, realism, and religious themes.
