Émile-Antoine Bourdelle’s 1889 bronze sculpture, Adam, captures Adam’s guilt after sinning, blending muscular power with emotional depth. Influenced by Michelangelo, it echoes the dynamic forms of the Sistine Chapel. Standing 93 inches tall, it features Bourdelle’s signature and the year on its pedestal. This work explores human vulnerability and strength.
