"The Fall of Man" is a fresco by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael. This work is part of a series of frescoes located in the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican Palace in Vatican City. Painted between 1509 and 1511, during the pontificate of Pope Julius II, the frescoes in this room are considered some of Raphael's greatest works and mark a significant transition in the artist's career from his earlier Florentine style to a more mature and grandiose Roman style.

"The Fall of Man," specifically, depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden as narrated in the Book of Genesis. This fresco is part of the larger thematic program of the room, which includes representations of the three highest realms of human knowledge according to Renaissance thought: Theology, Poetry, Philosophy, and Law. "The Fall of Man" is closely associated with the segment of the room that represents Theology, as it illustrates the original sin that necessitated the redemption offered by Christian salvation.

Raphael's depiction of "The Fall of Man" is renowned for its harmonious composition and the beauty of the human figures, which reflect his study of ancient sculpture and his contemporary Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel. The fresco shows Adam and Eve in the moment of temptation, with the serpent often interpreted as a symbol of Satan, presenting the forbidden fruit. The figures are set in a lush landscape that adds to the dramatic effect of the scene.

As with many of Raphael's works, "The Fall of Man" showcases the artist's skill in conveying complex theological ideas through art. His use of color, light, and shadow, as well as his ability to capture human emotion, contribute to the enduring significance of the fresco. The work has been extensively studied by art historians and is often cited as an exemplary piece of Renaissance art that blends classical ideals with Christian themes.

"The Fall of Man" continues to attract scholarly attention and remains a highlight for visitors to the Vatican Museums. Its influence extends beyond its immediate historical context, as it has inspired countless artists and has become an iconic representation of the story of Adam and Eve in Western art.
