Development
editThat year Rodin was also commissioned by France's Ministry of Fine Arts to produce two colossal figures of Adam and Eve, which he suggested using to flank his The Gates of Hell project, then ongoing. For the figure of Adam he reused The Creation of Man, whilst Eve was created separately.[1]
Casts
editThe work was first cast in 1910 and bronze casts of it are now in the Art Institute of Chicago,[2] the Musee Rodin and the Metropolitan Museum of Art among others.[3]
