MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Expulsion from Garden of Eden

🖼 Expulsion from Garden of Eden, 1509-10
Fresco
Vatican, Italy

Twisted bodies strain against divine force as Adam and Eve flee paradise, rendered in muscular, dynamic forms across the chapel vault. Michelangelo's fresco defines Renaissance humanism—capturing human anguish and physical beauty within religious narrative, influencing Western art for centuries.
