The Fall of Man
This 18th-c. ceiling painting captures the pivotal moment of the Fall: Eve offers Adam the forbidden fruit, while the serpent coils ominously above. Set in a lush paradise, the scene emphasizes humanity’s loss of innocence. The composition reflects the colonial Quito School’s synthesis of European theology and local visual language, dramatized in a celestial frame.
