Masaccio: The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden 1425
Through the concrete physicality of the two figures and the arid landscape around them, Masaccio makes believable the first dolorous steps of human beings on earth, in the solitude of the shame of sin and the dramatic experience of pain. Quoted from 'Medicine in Art' Getty Publications. p.292
