One of my all time favorite sculptors of the ‘Impressionist’ era is Rodin. I highly recommend a visit to the special museum of his work in Paris, but failing that, you can go to the Met and see a great deal. This particular image is of God fashioning Adam.
Above is another favorite in the courtyard of the museum in Paris— namely the Gates of Hell…. When we think Impressionists we often think Monet or Manet or Van Gogh, in short painters. But there was much more to the movement than just painters.
