Adam, an oil painting from France (1960–1970), 95 × 153 cm with exclusive frame, weight 3.0 kg, original edition, unsigned, in good condition, classical style, sold by Galería.
Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.
- Durero’s Adam rises as the absolute measure of a newly born world, a herald of flesh and proportion emerging from the myth’s shadow to inaugurate man’s sovereignty. In his figure, the chisel of Nordic line and the grace of the Italian canon fuse into a prophecy of beauty and fall: the human body awakening to its own consciousness, a temple of perfect anatomy that sustains the fruit of knowledge with a hesitation that is already destiny. Under the tree’s shade, that Adam not only represents the origin but the omen of all our history; in the tension of his muscles and the clarity of his gaze lies the first spark of humanism, the sacred instant when the creature understands that by biting the secret of good and evil, it will forever change paradise for the glory and torment of freedom.
- Dimensions of the image without frame: 77 x 135 cm / 95 x 153 cm with exclusive custom frame.
