Fine Art Prints from Fine Art Storehouse
The Creation of the World and the Expulsion from Paradise 1445
The masterpiece was painted by Giovanni di Paolo (Giovanni di Paolo di Grazia). It represents a vision of Paradise reminiscent of that described by the great Florentine poet Dante in " The Divine Comedy." The universe is shown as a celestial globe, with the earth at the center surrounded by a series of concentric circles representing first the four elements, the known planets (including the sun, in accordance with medieval and Renaissance cosmology), and finally the constellations of the zodiac. Presiding over the scene of Creation is God the Father, bathed in a glowing celestial light as he is borne aloft by seraphim. Beside the " mappamondo" (map of the world) is the garden of Paradise, its four rivers issuing from the ground at the lower right. The gardens effulgent flora symbolize the pure and sinless state of man before the Fall. A diminutive Adam and Eve are expelled from the garden by a lithe angel whose unusual nakedness and human form may symbolize his deep compassion for the corrupted state of humankind after the fall from grace

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Giovanni di Paolo's masterpiece, "The Creation of the World and the Expulsion from Paradise". Painted in 1445, this artwork beautifully depicts a vision of Paradise inspired by Dante's "The Divine Comedy". At the center of the celestial globe lies our Earth, surrounded by concentric circles representing the four elements, known planets (including the sun), and constellations of the zodiac. God the Father presides over this magnificent scene of Creation, bathed in a radiant celestial light as seraphim carry him aloft. Adjacent to this cosmic display is the garden of Paradise itself. Four rivers flow from its grounds symbolizing purity and sinlessness before humanity's fall from grace. The lush flora within these gardens radiate with effulgence, reflecting mankind's untainted state. In a poignant moment captured within this print, we witness Adam and Eve being expelled from this idyllic paradise by an angel. This angel stands naked yet human-like, perhaps symbolizing his profound empathy for humankind after their descent into corruption. Giovanni di Paolo masterfully brings together elements of theology and cosmology in his painting. Through intricate details and symbolism, he invites us to reflect on our origins while contemplating themes such as compassion and redemption. This print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke that brought this masterpiece to life centuries ago—a timeless reminder of both artistic brilliance and spiritual contemplation.
