"The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Pendentive of the Dome (1532-36)" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Bernardino Luini, a prominent artist of the Lombard school and a follower of Leonardo da Vinci. This work is part of a series of frescoes painted by Luini on the pendentives of the dome of the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Lugano, Switzerland. The fresco depicts the biblical scene of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, a moment of dramatic transition and profound emotion in the Christian narrative.

Luini's mastery of chiaroscuro and his delicate handling of color are evident in this fresco, where the figures of Adam and Eve are rendered with a grace and naturalism that reflect the influence of Leonardo. The composition is dynamic, with the angel gesturing forcefully to the exit of paradise, while Adam and Eve move reluctantly towards the mortal world, their expressions filled with shame and despair. The use of the pendentive space enhances the drama of the scene, as the curved surface adds a sense of movement and instability, echoing the turmoil of the first humans as they face their punishment.

The fresco is a significant example of High Renaissance art in Northern Italy and is particularly noted for its emotional impact and the harmonious integration of the figures with the architectural space. Bernardino Luini's work in Santa Maria degli Angeli is considered one of his most important commissions and contributes to our understanding of the dissemination of Renaissance artistic principles beyond the major centers of Florence and Rome.

As a testament to the enduring legacy of Bernardino Luini and the cultural importance of the frescoes, the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli has become a key destination for art historians and visitors interested in the Renaissance period. The "Expulsion of Adam and Eve" remains a powerful representation of human fallibility and divine judgment, as well as a masterful example of Luini's artistic skill and his contribution to the visual language of the Renaissance.
