The Expulsion from Paradise 1583 - 1613

Daniel Fröschl’s *The Expulsion from Paradise*, a watercolor and gouache drawing on paper created between 1583 and 1613, depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve being driven out of the Garden of Eden. The scene shows Adam and Eve departing from the Garden, with a small, winged angel, Cupid, directing their exit with his bow and arrow in the upper right corner. Adam and Eve are depicted in a naturalistic manner, but with a distinct artistic style that blends the traditions of Northern Renaissance with the delicate details of Italian Mannerism, creating a truly unique piece. *The Expulsion from Paradise* is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
