Description

The Expulsion from Paradise by Charles Joseph Natoire

This picture must have been intended by Natoire as a tribute to François Lemoyne. It was a pendant to a painting by Lemoyne, depicting Adam receiving the forbidden fruit from Eve in the Garden of Eden (private collection). Around 1721, both Natoire and Lemoyne were in the studio of the academician Lemoyne.

Charles-Joseph Natoire (3 March 1700-23 August 1777) was a French painter in the Rococo manner, a pupil of Francois Lemoyne and director of the French Academy in Rome, 1751-1775. Considered during his lifetime the equal of Francois Boucher, he played a prominent role in the artistic life of France.

He is remembered above all for the series of the History of Psyche for Germain Boffrand's oval salon de la Princesse in the Hotel de Soubise, Paris, and for the tapestry cartoons for the series of the History of Don Quixote, woven at the Beauvais tapestry manufacture, most of which are at the Chateau de Compiegne.
