Adam is an 1880-1881 statue of
Paris Salon
that year entitled The Creation of Man.
Development
That year Rodin was also commissioned by France's Ministry of Fine Arts to produce two colossal figures of Adam and Eve, which he suggested using to flank his The Gates of Hell project, then ongoing. For the figure of Adam he reused The Creation of Man, whilst Eve was created separately.[1]
Casts
The work was first cast in 1910 and bronze casts of it are now in the
Musee Rodin and the Metropolitan Museum of Art among others.[3]
