La Jeunesse
Herbert Adams American
Adams is one of few nineteenth-century American sculptors known to have experimented with polychromy and the use of mixed media in single works. La Jeunesse, an allegory of youth, integrates artistic practices of Renaissance Italy that were in turn inspired by ancient Greece. It reflects a taste for polychrome sculpture in France that Adams observed during his academic training in Paris.
