"God's Curse," created by James Tissot between 1896 and 1902, depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The painting captures the moment of their realization of their sin and the consequences of their disobedience, as a serpent wraps around the tree of knowledge. Tissot's work is characterized by its detailed realism and evocative portrayal of human emotion, making this poignant scene come to life.
