The painting titled 'Adam and Eve expelled from Paradise' vividly captures the biblical moment of their banishment from Eden. As a notable example of a Religious painting, it portrays the emotional turmoil and shame experienced by the first humans. The artist’s use of Vitrage techniques enhances the delicate, luminous quality of the scene, reminiscent of Glass craftsmanship.
