EDITORS COMMENTS
The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden," a masterpiece by the anonymous artist known as the Master of the Borders with the Four Fathers of the Church, dates back to the 15th century. This hand-colored metalcut print, created between 1460 and 1480, is a captivating depiction of one of the most iconic stories in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The scene unfolds in the lush, idyllic Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, are shown in their original state of innocence and harmony with nature. However, their idyllic existence is disrupted as they are expelled from the garden by an angel, punished for their disobedience to God's commandment. The Master of the Borders with the Four Fathers of the Church skillfully captures the emotions and expressions of each figure, from the sorrowful gaze of Eve as she covers her nakedness, to the determined look on the face of the expelling angel. The use of hand-coloring in yellow, red, brown lake, and green adds depth and vibrancy to the print, making it a visual feast for the eyes. This historic artwork, which is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the 15th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of religious art to inspire and captivate audiences, and the importance of preserving such treasures for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or religion, and a reminder of the timeless beauty and significance of the stories and figures that have shaped our collective human heritage.
