Further details

GIUSEPPE CESARI , CALLED THE CAVALIER D'ARPINO (1568-1640), THE EXPULSION FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN, OIL ON COPPER

This previously unknown painting by Giuseppe Cesari (1568-1640) - whose nickname the Cavalier d'Arpin recalls his birthplace - depicts the fateful moment when Adam and Eve are driven from the Earthly Paradise following their Temptation by the serpent. An angel armed with a flaming sword, guardian of the Garden of Eden, expels them. The artist also painted other versions on copper, of similar dimensions of this subject. These include the version in the Musée du Louvre (Paris, inv. 249), the one in Christ Church (University of Oxford, inv. JBS 135) and the one in Apsley House (The Wellington Collection [English Heritage], London, inv. WM. 1633-1948).
We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Marion Hermann Röttgen for confirming the attribution of this painting to the Cavalier d'Arpin on the basis of a photographic examination of the work.
