Inspiration: Art History's Expulsion from the Garden of Eden

My recent painting "Expulsion", features the biblical theme of Adam and Eve being cast from the Garden of Eden or Paradise.

The theme is a very common one in art history, and below are some of my favorite examples. Michelangelo's iconic version on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel has influenced me the most.
