Les Premieres Funerailles, Adam et Eve portant Abel

Louis-Ernest Barrias (1841-1905)

Years ago I visited the Petit Palais by myself. The only art I remember is this sculpture by Barrias. I was so impressed with the grief captured by the artist. Although Abel is young he is shown as a strong young man. This captured moment spoke to me so profoundly that i have never forgotten it.

A comic moment with the Professor.
