The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti, is one of the most iconic frescoes in the history of Western art. Completed between 1508 and 1512, this masterpiece of the High Renaissance is located in the Vatican, Rome, within the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Julius II to paint the ceiling, and the work has since become a seminal piece of religious and cultural significance.

The Expulsion scene is part of a larger narrative that depicts stories from the Book of Genesis, which Michelangelo divided into nine central panels. The narrative sequence begins with the Separation of Light from Darkness and culminates with the Drunkenness of Noah. The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden is situated on the ceiling's second panel from the entrance and portrays the moment when Adam and Eve are cast out of Paradise as a consequence of their disobedience, as described in Genesis 3:23-24.

In this fresco, Michelangelo captures the anguish and despair of the first humans as they are driven from Eden by an angel wielding a flaming sword. The figures of Adam and Eve are depicted in a state of motion, with their bodies twisted in a contrapposto stance that reflects their emotional turmoil. Adam covers his face in shame with his left hand, while Eve's expression is one of sorrow as she turns away from the viewer. The dynamic composition and the powerful use of anatomical detail are characteristic of Michelangelo's style and contribute to the dramatic impact of the scene.

The Expulsion is notable not only for its artistic excellence but also for its theological and philosophical implications. Michelangelo's interpretation of this pivotal moment in Christian narrative explores themes of sin, punishment, and the human condition. The fresco has been widely analyzed by art historians and theologians alike, and it continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination.

As part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden has been meticulously restored in several phases, with the most recent major restoration completed in the 1980s and 1990s. This restoration work has allowed the fresco's original color palette and details to be seen in a new light, further enhancing its reputation as a work of profound beauty and complexity. The Sistine Chapel ceiling, including The Expulsion, remains one of the most visited and studied artworks in the world, attracting millions of visitors each year and holding a central place in the canon of Western art.
