The powerful hand of God who shaped two figures and gave new life to Adam and Eve as an embracing, sensual couple. It is also symbolic image of the artist who invents a world.

The play of shadow and light and the subtle combination of perfectly smooth with non finito passages, plus the deliberately marks of the tools, make The Hand of God a particularly expressive work.

Rodin hands have both an expressive and symbolic value. Like the Two Hands they personify gesture. Separated from the body they become studies and occasionally acquire monumental value.
