A Large Patinated Bronze Male, After Rodan

About the Item

A 20th Century Patinated cast bronze sculpture after Auguste Rodin "Adam". Adam is one of a series of powerful male nudes that established Rodin as a major sculptor in the 1870s and early 1880s. They include The Age of Bronze (Metropolitan Museum of Art)  and Saint John the Baptist Preaching (Museum of Modern Art, New York). Of these, Adam offers the clearest homage to Michelangelo, whose marbles, such as the Dying Slave and Rebellious Slave (Accademia, Florence, and Musée du Louvre, Paris), and fresco The Creation of Adam on the Sistine Ceiling in the Vatican, Rodin had passionately admired and studied in Italy before he returned home in 1876. [5] Adam’s extended right forefinger alludes to the awakening gesture in Michelangelo’s painted Creation scene.
