作品简介

尽管罗丹在筹备雕塑项目时，很少绘制如此精细的画作，但这座人物群像被安置在一个类似基座的平台上，这暗示了画作与雕塑之间存在紧密联系。其风格与他 19 世纪 70 年代在巴黎和布鲁塞尔的阿尔伯特 - 欧内斯特·卡里耶 - 贝留兹(Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse)工作室工作时创作的装饰性雕塑颇为相似。标题所指的是希腊神话中人类相继经历的各个时代中的第一个时代——那是一个充满青春活力与和谐美好的时代，与罗丹首座重要全身雕塑作品所描绘的暴力青铜时代形成了鲜明对比。

Although Rodin rarely made drawings with this level of finish in preparation for his sculptural projects, the staging of the figural group on a pedestal-like platform suggests a close relationship with sculpture. It is similar in style to the decorative sculptures he made in the 1870s while working in the Paris and Brussels studios of Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse. The title refers to the first of the successive ages of humanity according to Greek mythology—a time of youthfulness and harmony in contrast to the violent Age of Bronze, the subject of Rodin’s first important full-length sculpture.
