"The Downfall of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden," is part of Michelangelo's paintings in the Sistine Chapel. Painted during the years of 1508 to 1512, he was commissioned by Pope John Paul II to create the artwork for the ceiling panels. Depicted here is a combination of scenes which tells the story of Adam and Eve as they take the apples from the tree against Gods word, and become banned from the Garden of Eden for life. Along with this panel, Michelangelo created many other paintings that represented historical biblical stories.
