"The Expulsion of Adam and Eve" is a notable work by the German Renaissance painter Hans Rottenhammer, created circa 1600. This painting depicts the biblical scene from the Book of Genesis in which the first humans, Adam and Eve, are cast out of the Garden of Eden as a consequence of their disobedience to God. Rottenhammer, known for his small and highly detailed compositions often on copper, presents this moment with a dramatic intensity that is characteristic of his style, which combines Northern European and Italian influences.

In the artwork, the figures of Adam and Eve are typically shown leaving the paradise with expressions of shame and sorrow, while an angel, often depicted with a flaming sword, enforces God's judgment. Rottenhammer's interpretation of this scene is distinguished by his meticulous attention to the human form, his use of vibrant colors, and the dynamic composition that captures the emotional turmoil of the moment. The painting is also notable for its landscape, which Rottenhammer rendered with a sense of depth and detail that reflects his mastery of the genre.

"The Expulsion of Adam and Eve" serves as an example of the Counter-Reformation's impact on art, where religious themes were depicted with heightened emotion and drama to engage viewers. Rottenhammer's work is significant for its synthesis of the Venetian colorism, learned during his time in Italy, with the precise detailing of his native German tradition. This painting is part of Rottenhammer's broader oeuvre, which includes mythological scenes, religious subjects, and collaborations with other artists, where he often contributed figures to landscapes painted by others.

As a piece that exemplifies the cross-cultural artistic exchange of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, "The Expulsion of Adam and Eve" holds a place in the history of European art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of theological themes. The painting is a testament to Rottenhammer's skill and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art.
