Adam (Lombardo)

Sculpture of Adam after restoration process on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Adam is an Italian Renaissance sculpture of c.1490–1495, a marble statue by Tullio Lombardo, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which bought it in 1936.[1] It is of prime importance as the first lifesize nude marble sculpture since antiquity,[2][3] though Donatello's famous bronze David had preceded it by several decades.
