Emil_Keyser_–_Expulsion_from_the_Garden_of_Eden

A more modern interpretation of the expulsion story illustrated in very simplistic terms, two children, shame faced sent out of the garden for doing what they were told not to. Such a simple rendition loses much of the detail leaving us with little more than a ‘do what your told’ lesson while the values and beauties of the garden lost, setting up the future as an always repeating story of youthful rebellion against authority, in a world where the garden has little value in and of itself and an almost arbitrary sense of authority is the only thing preventing us from taking what we want.
