English This profoundly human image has not lost its power over time; indeed the Expulsion appears today as the most modern of Masaccio's works and, over the course of our century, has replaced the Tribute as the most admired image by this artist.
Adam hides his face in his hands, too ashamed of his weakness to care about his nakedness. Eve weeps and, sobbing, tries to cover herself with a classic gesture of shame and modesty.
The way in which Eve covers her breast and genitals is an inevitable gesture. The story of Adam and Eve traditionally allowed explicit nudity, but the realism demonstrated by Masaccio had not been seen in art since antiquity. One senses that any minor lack of anatomical accuracy is due to the pursuit of expressiveness rather than ignorance
Perhaps the most touching aspect of Adam and Eve is not their pain but the fact that they share their fate without blaming one another. Light glides over the two figures. Masaccio was the first painter to use shadows consistently to define space and give solidity to figures.
Adam's foot briefly touches the threshold of the Garden from which he has been expelled. Eve's cry is the loudest sound ever painted. Outside the Garden, the desolate mountains provide a visual link with the other landscapes in the middle register of the chapel. Her face is disfigured by pain. She, who was once a beautiful woman, is so no longer. A heartbreaking scene that stirs compassion, though not in the angel who, armed with a sword, points the way out with a gesture of his hand. He seems to say: "GO OUT".
The despair of the two is visible, Adam weeping bitterly, unable to hide his shame. Man and woman are accomplices in sin and together they will wander in unhappiness
