Rodins breakout sculpture, The Age of Bronze caused a critical scandal for its extreme naturalism and ambiguous subject matter. Fashioned over a period of eighteen months and based on a live model, the sculpture depicts a suspended moment of human awakening, either to suffering or to joy. First exhibited in 1877 in Brussels with the title The Conquered Man (Le Vaincu [literal translation, "The Vanquished"]), it was displayed later the same year in Paris with its current title. Rodin promoted the works multiple interpretations, saying, "There are at least four figures in it."He was captures using the age-old method of lost wax casting and finished with brown patina stain. Adam is mounted upon a yellow- marble base with the artist Rodin's signature. Condition: This sculpture is in perfect condition.
