Rodin was profoundly influenced by the work of Michelangelo. His direct study of Renaissance masterpieces—both during his time in Italy and in the Musée du Louvre in Paris—seems to have revealed to him many of the secrets behind Michelangelo’s extraordinary modeling. In this sculpture, Rodin draws on those lessons to express the inner anguish and intense concentration of a powerful yet immobilized figure. Two of Michelangelo’s works help explain both the meaning and origin of the unusual gestures Rodin assigned to Adam. As noted by Albert Elsen in the catalogue for Rodin at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the figure’s right arm alludes to The Creation of Man from the Sistine Chapel fresco in the Vatican, while the left arm echoes the form of the dead Christ from the Pietà in the Cathedral of Florence. Elsen summarized Rodin’s intention beautifully: “The figure is framed by the beginning and end of life; between these, his body shows its tortured existence.

A beautiful, antelope.

This is an amazingly lovely, well made, beautiful and life-like bronze figure of a truly wonderful animal. I couldn't be more delighted - in fact I loved it so much I bought another one for my son, who was equally delighted... Truly first rate.

Sentinel Storks

The Sentinels (bronze pair of storks) are the perfect compliment to their neighbors, a bronze great blue heron, black skimmer and bufflehead duck. They rest on my window sill and frame my 7th floor view over my neighborhood park, with birdlife gliding by and terrific sunsets. My stork pair is a wonderful addition!
