Adão ou A Criação do Homem

modeled 1880 or 1881, cast 1910
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 800
O contato direto com as obras de arte de Michelangelo, tanto na Itália como no museu do Louvre, em Paris, parece ter revelado muitos segredos do mestre do Renascimento para conseguir um modelo expressivo. Rodin exibiu o modelo original em gesso desta obra, chamada A criação do homem, no Salão de Paris de 1881. Durante um tempo, ele pensou em incorporar a vigorosa figura, de tamanho maior do que a natural, a seu desenho As portas do inferno, o portal planejado para um novo museu de artes decorativas jamais construído. Esta peça foi a primeira fundição em bronze do modelo, encomendada pelo Metropolitan Museum para uma galeria dedicada às obras de Rodin, que foi inaugurada em 1912.
