Originally from Nancy, the Adam family is the most important dynasty of 18th-century French sculptors. Over three generations, its members displayed their talents for the greatest patrons and participated in several major projects. Trained in Lorraine during the artistic boom of the reigns of Dukes Leopold and Stanislas, Jacob Sigisbert Adam, his three sons Lambert Sigisbert, Nicolas Sébastien and François Gaspard, and their nephews Sigisbert François, Pierre Joseph and Claude Michel dit Clodion, worked in Rome, Paris, Versailles and Berlin for the Pope and European monarchs such as Louis XV, Louis XVI, Frederick II of Prussia and Catherine II of Russia.
