The Creation of Adam - Bronze Statue by Michelangelo

The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo Buonarroti is famous the world over. The motif was created between 1508 and 1512 as a ceiling fresco in the Sistine Chapel of St. Peter's Basilica. The sculptural interpretation of the Creation of Adam depicted here skilfully takes up the central pictorial elements of the original painting and complements them quite naturally in the realm of three-dimensionality. The result is a fascinating bronze sculpture placed on a decorative green marble base. The coherent group of figures is to be regarded as divided into two parts, both from a creative and thematic point of view. On the left side of the bronze figure is Adam, depicted as a handsome male nude in the classical antique style of the Renaissance. He stretches his arm towards a group of figures. In the center of this group, positioned on the right side of the picture scene, stands God the Father, surrounded by numerous putti. He also stretches out His arm wide to give Adam life with His touch. The symbolic sculpture made of bronze is versatile in positioning due to its ideal size and bears the artist's signature.

The ceiling frescoes of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City in Rome are world famous. Designed by Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, the ceiling paintings in the Sistine Chapel of St. Peter's Basilica depict elemental scenes from Genesis. The Creation of Adam is probably the best-known motif. While it has sold millions of copies as a canvas reproduction or art print, the plastic interpretation of the famous motif is considered less commercial.
