Sculpture of The First Funerals at The Petit Palais Louvre

Introducing “The First Funerals at The Petit Palais Louvre,” a stunning replica of Louis Ernest Barrias’ masterful 1883 marble sculpture. This exquisite piece captures a poignant biblical moment, depicting Adam and Eve mourning their son Abel, who fell victim to the jealousy of his brother Cain. Barrias, a celebrated artist recognized with the Medal of Honour in 1878, skillfully blends the high emotions of grief and loss with a touch of fantasy, transporting viewers into a realm where the weight of humanity’s first tragedy is felt deeply.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, our sculpture showcases the fierce expression of Adam, reminiscent of an elder statesman of humanity, while Eve and Abel’s forms echo the grace of Renaissance artistry.
