-:''[[Fall of Man]]'' 
-'''Cacciata dei progenitori dall'Eden''' is a [[fresco]] by the Italian Early Renaissance artist [[Masaccio]]. The fresco is a single scene from the cycle painted from 1423 on by Masaccio, [[Masolino da Panicale|Masolino]] and others on the walls of the [[Brancacci Chapel]] in the church of [[Santa Maria del Carmine di Firenze|Santa Maria del Carmine]] in [[Florence]]. It depicts [[Fall of Man|the expulsion from the garden]] of [[Adam and Eve]], from the biblical [[Book of Genesis]] chapter 3, albeit with a few differences from the canonical account. 
-In a ''[[A Theory of Parody: The Teachings of Twentieth-Century Art Forms]]'', on page 47+'''Masolino da Panicale''' (also known as '''Tommaso di Cristoforo Fini''') ([[Panicale]], [[Umbria]] c. 1383 – c. 1447) was an Italian painter. His best known works are probably his collaborations with [[Tommaso Masaccio|Masaccio]]: ''[[Virgin and Child with St. Anne (Masaccio)|Madonna with Child and St. Anne]]'' (1424) and the frescoes in the [[Brancacci Chapel]] (1424-1428).
-[[Linda Hutcheon]] notes that the lower right hand inset of the red silk-screened figures of [[Rauschenberg]]'s ''[[Retroactive I]]'' ends up looking like [[Masaccio]]'s ''[[Expulsion of Adam and Eve]]''. The pointing finger is the finger of god, [[Kennedy]].+
-==Possible sources of inspiration==+His principal works include:
-Many possible sources of inspiration have been pointed out that Masaccio may have drawn from. For Adam, possible references include numerous sculptures of [[Marsyas]] (from [[Greek Mythology]]) and certain [[crucifixes|crucifix]] done by [[Donatello]].+* ''Madonna and Child'' (1423), [[Tempera]] on panel in [[Kunsthalle Bremen]], [[Germany]]
- +* ''Madonna and Child, Saint Anne and the Angels'' (1424) painted for the [[Sant'Ambrogio di Firenze|church of Sant'Ambrogio]] in Florence
-For Eve, art analysts usually point to different versions of [[Venus Pudica]], such as ''Prudence'' by [[Giovanni Pisano]].+* ''Pope Gregory the Great and Saint Matthias'' (c. 1425), part of a double-sided triptych in [[Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome]]
- +* An altarpiece depicting ''The Annunciation'' (1425/1430) for the Guardini chapel in the church of [[San Niccolò Oltrarno]], Florence.
-==Cover up and restoration==+* [[Fresco]]es depicting the "Life of [[St. John the Baptist]]" (1435) in the [[Baptistery]] of [[Castiglione Olona]].
-Three centuries after the fresco was painted, [[Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany|Cosimo III de' Medici]], in line with contemporary ideas of [[decorum]], ordered that [[fig leaves]] be added to conceal the [[genitals]] of the figures. These were eventually removed in the 1980s when the painting was fully restored and cleaned.+[[Giorgio Vasari]] includes a biography of Masolino in his ''[[Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects|Lives]]''.
- +
-==Influence on Michelangelo==+
-Masaccio provided a large inspiration to the more famous Renaissance painter [[Michelangelo]], due to the fact that [[Michelangelo]]'s teacher, [[Ghirlandaio]], looked almost exclusively to him for inspiration for his religious scenes. Ghirlandaio also imitated various designs done by Masaccio. This influence is most visible in Michelangelo's "The Fall of Man and the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden" on the ceiling of the [[Sistine Chapel]].+
- +
-==Differences from Genesis==+
-The main points in this painting that deviate from the account as it appears in [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]]:+
- +
-# Adam and Eve are shown in the nude. Although this increases the drama of the scene, it differs from Genesis 3:21 ([[KJV]]) which states, "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the ''LORD'' God make coats of skins, and clothed them."+
-# Only one [[Cherub]] angel is present. Genesis 3:24 states, "So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims<!--SIC-->, [...]" (''-im'' being the original Hebrew plural ending of Cherub, doubled with an English plural in this version).+
-# The arch depicted at the garden entrance does not appear in the Biblical account.+
