Painting Description
"The Expulsion From Paradise (Hollstein 2)" is an evocative engraving by the German artist Ludwig Krug, who was active during the early 16th century. This work is a compelling representation of the biblical narrative of Adam and Eve being cast out from the Garden of Eden, a theme that has been a rich source of inspiration for artists throughout history. Krug's interpretation stands out for its intricate detail and the emotional depth conveyed through the figures' expressions and postures.
Ludwig Krug, born around 1490 and active until his death in 1532, was a notable figure in the German Renaissance. He was not only an engraver but also a goldsmith and medalist, which is evident in the meticulous craftsmanship of his engravings. "The Expulsion From Paradise" is cataloged as Hollstein 2, indicating its inclusion in the comprehensive reference work "Hollstein's German Engravings, Etchings and Woodcuts 1400-1700," which documents the oeuvre of German printmakers.
In this engraving, Krug captures the moment of expulsion with a dramatic intensity. Adam and Eve are depicted in a state of despair and shame, their bodies contorted in a way that reflects their inner turmoil. The angel, wielding a sword, is a formidable presence, emphasizing the finality of their banishment. The background, though less detailed, provides a stark contrast to the lushness of Eden, symbolizing the harsh reality that awaits the first humans outside paradise.
Krug's work is characterized by its fine lines and the use of light and shadow to create depth and texture. This engraving not only showcases his technical skill but also his ability to convey complex emotional narratives through a single image. "The Expulsion From Paradise" remains a significant example of early 16th-century German engraving, reflecting the broader cultural and religious themes of the period.
