White marble. Two nude figures (Adam and Eve). Adam has his right hand to his head and holds Eve's right hand in his left and over his shoulder. She has her right hand to her head and is looking backwards. This figure group shows a remorseful Adam and Eve making their way out of the Garden of Eden, having disobeyed God and been expelled from paradise. The quotation on the base is the final sentence of John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost. First published in 1667, it is an ambitious rewriting of the Fall of Man and is one of the most influential poems ever written in the English language.

Having attended the Perse School in Cambridge, Wiles subsequently trained at the Royal Academy and was awarded a two-year travelling studentship in 1869, which he used to study sculpture in Rome and Naples. This figure group shows a remorseful Adam and Eve making their way out of the Garden of Eden, having disobeyed God and been expelled from paradise. The quotation on the base is the very final sentence of John Milton’s epic poem 'Paradise Lost'. First published in 1667, it is an ambitious rewriting of the Fall of Man and is one of the most influential poems ever written in the English language. This sculpture is dated 1871, and so must have been produced immediately after Wiles’ return from Italy. It was bequeathed to the Museum by the Reverend Blore in 1885, just 14 years after it was made, so it is likely that he was the first owner and perhaps commissioned the work. reference term-108070 adlib-term-108070 7e278258-23e3-3d5b-a4ff-ab5ecacb4bf3 19th Century, Late reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country possibly London reference term-37963 adlib-term-37963 929f6c25-5677-3624-90d4-f6d882da98ec white marble reference media-15801 adlib-media-15801 0c4cc044-7070-359f-a2f4-c7a348ce572e jpeg aa/aa10/M_2_1885_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 398 1702926643319 1 image jpeg aa/aa10/M_2_1885_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 398 1702926643319 1 image jpeg aa/aa10/M_2_1885_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 398 1702926643319 1 image jpeg aa/aa10/preview_M_2_1885_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 465 width pixels 250 1702926643319 1 image 0 media image reference media-15802 adlib-media-15802 639a7405-507b-37ea-a5f2-28c51f1992a7 jpeg aa/aa10/M_2_1885_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 388 1702926488162 1 image jpeg aa/aa10/M_2_1885_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 388 1702926488162 1 image jpeg aa/aa10/M_2_1885_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 388 1702926488162 1 image jpeg aa/aa10/preview_M_2_1885_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 477 width pixels 250 1702926488162 1 image 1 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference number literal name Sculpture UK Sculpture UK named event reference term-108488 adlib-term-108488 ed73dc05-c923-327f-a91e-e8a85997892b The Expulsion from Eden literal The Expulsion from Eden The Expulsion from Eden
