The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

Well, even folk art had Biblical scenes.
Much more than what is called “Art” these days! :-)
Aside from Marc Chagall, I’ve not encountered much Biblical art among the modern crowd.
Should have known! Many thanks for adding it.
Indeed.

I’m glad to see some of Blake’s work. His rendition is my favorite, for it shows God’s sorrow at casting them out. I also like God pictured as the mighty Father of Adam and Eve and allowing them to cling to Him.
I love your comment, it puts into words how the painting makes me feel. Thanks. Bless you.
