Eve and Adam Expelled from Paradise — Jean Baptiste Cariven

Jean Baptiste Cariven’s Eve and Adam Expelled from Paradise, dated 1850, depicts the solemn biblical moment when the first man and woman are driven from Eden. Cariven presents this Old Testament subject through the dramatic language of nineteenth-century academic art, dwelling on the gravity of exile, loss, and humanity’s separation from paradise. The figures’ anguish gives the scene a reflective, penitential atmosphere suited to contemplation of the Fall and its spiritual meaning. This museum-inspired reproduction honours the work’s sacred narrative and serious devotional character. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings a profound biblical image to spaces of prayer, reflection, and sacred-art appreciation.
