Atlas is a bronze statue in Rockefeller Center, within the International Building's courtyard, in Midtown Manhattan in New York City.

[1][2][18] The north–south axis of the armillary sphere on his shoulders points towards the North Star's position relative to New York City.

[19] The statue stands on one muscular leg atop a small stone pedestal, whose corner faces Fifth Avenue.

[2] The piece has since been appropriated as a symbol of the Objectivist movement[20] and has been associated with Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged (1957).

Ridley Scott has cited the sculpture as the aesthetic inspiration for the character "Mother," on HBO Max's Raised by Wolves.
