Life After Eden

729
This 18th c. ceiling medallion shows Adam and Eve in exile, now parents to Cain and Abel. Adam rests beside his axe, symbolizing labor, while Eve nurses an infant—both marked by divine punishment and human tenderness. The lush frame contrasts Eden’s memory with the toil of fallen life.
