Adam and Eve (Marble Sculpture)Auguste Rodin

58
Carved in marble before 1905 by Gaston Schnegg under Auguste Rodin’s direction, this sculpture of Adam and Eve embodies the biblical narrative of humanity’s origins. Donated by Rodin in 1916, it reflects his exploration of human form and emotion. The figures, poised in introspection and vulnerability, capture the tension between innocence and knowledge, inviting contemplation on themes of creation and fall.
