Smit & Palarczyk > [RUSSIA.GOLDENRING 26.166] 'Leaving paradise.' While in the scene on the right Adam is still happily conversing with the animals, the central scene shows God gently handing the clothes Adam and Eve will have to wear in future. The paradise they have to leave is a brilliantly white space with fountain like trees overarched by a huge heavenly eyebrow. This gripping visualization of biblical scenes was created by unknown 17th century artists in the southern vestibule of Tutayev's Resurrection Cathedral. Photo Mick Palarczyk.
