"The Fall and the Expulsion from Paradise" is a notable illumination by the Limbourg Brothers, created as part of the richly decorated manuscript known as "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry." The Limbourg Brothers, consisting of Herman, Paul, and Johan, were active in the early 15th century and are among the most famous manuscript illuminators of the Northern Renaissance. Their work on the "Très Riches Heures," commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, is widely regarded as a masterpiece of the International Gothic style.

The illumination depicting "The Fall and the Expulsion from Paradise" is a significant work within the manuscript, as it illustrates two pivotal moments from the biblical story of Adam and Eve as described in the Book of Genesis. The upper portion of the miniature shows the moment of temptation and the Fall, where Adam and Eve are seen eating the forbidden fruit, while the lower part depicts the subsequent Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, with an angel wielding a sword to drive the first couple from Paradise.

This work is celebrated for its intricate detail, vivid color palette, and the innovative use of light and shadow, which contribute to the depth and realism of the scene. The Limbourg Brothers' portrayal of the human figure and the natural world reflects both the influence of contemporary artistic developments and their own unique vision. The miniature is a testament to the brothers' skill in conveying complex narratives and emotions within the confines of a manuscript page.

"The Fall and the Expulsion from Paradise" serves as a crucial example of the Limbourg Brothers' artistry and the devotional practices of the period. It is also an important artifact for the study of medieval manuscript illumination and the cultural and religious milieu of the early 15th century. The "Très Riches Heures" remains in the collection of the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, where it continues to be an object of admiration and scholarly interest.
