# Adam [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CIVITALE, Matteo]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary Matteo Civitale executed six life-size, free-standing statues \(Adam, Eve, St Elizabeth, St Zacharias, Isaiah and Habakkuk\) for the chapel of St John the Baptist in Genoa Cathedral. They are infused with a spirit and aesthetic only partly evolved from Civitale's earlier works and are characterized by pathos and subtly dramatic expressive faces. The picture shows Adam. ## Related artworks - [Altar tomb of St Regulus \(detail\)]() - [Altar tomb of St Regulus \(detail\)]() - [Altar tomb of St Regulus]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Eve]() - [Exterior view]() - [Saint Sebastian \(detail\)]() - [St Elizabeth]() - [St Sebastian]() - [St Zacharias]() - [Statues of Saints]() - [Statues of Saints]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
