The banishment from paradise, or the fall of man, or the fall, is a term used in Christianity to describe the transition of the first man and woman from a state of innocent obedience to God to a state of guilty disobedience. Although not named in the Bible, the doctrine of the fall comes from a biblical interpretation of Genesis chapter 3. At first, Adam and Eve lived with God in the Garden of Eden, but the serpent tempted them into eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden. After doing so, they became ashamed of their nakedness and God expelled them from the Garden to prevent them from eating from the tree of life and becoming immortal. More on banishment from paradise
Jacopo da Ponte, called Bassano
(1510-1592) was
born in Bassano del Grappa. His father, Francesco da Ponte, was also a painter
and influenced the style of the young Bassano. Bassano lived and worked, at
least temporarily, in Venice. Here he studied the works of his fellow painters
Bonifazio, Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese. He painted a large number of
Christian themes, but also animals and genre motifs emerged in large numbers.
His works were characterized especially by his lucid colors. He ran a workshop
where four of his sons, trained by himself, participated. Bassano was one of
the most influential Venetian painters of the 16th century. More on Jacopo da Ponte
