The Lost Paradise by Eduard Kasparides: Exile at Sunset, as a Vintage Poster (1902–05)
The sun is going down over a cold northern sea. On a grassy shore a woman lies face down, her red hair spread over her arm, while a man sits behind her with his back to us and his head sunk in his hand. Nothing in the picture tells us their names, but the title does: The Lost Paradise . The Austrian painter Eduard Kasparides turned the first exile of the Bible into a quiet evening scene of grief, and the sea at sunset carries almost as much feeling as the two figures. The picture below is our vintage poster of the painting; the original is shown further down. Symbolist Art Nouveau poster by Sapiens Verbum after Eduard Kasparides, The Lost Paradise , 1902–05.
