One of the most beautiful works of modern sculpture: Eros and passion - "The Kiss" by Auguste Rodin.
With this magnificent sculpture, Rodin captures the moment of rapture in which the two lovers find each other in a passionate embrace. In a storm of emotions, the artist makes the fateful significance of the scene visible.
Rodin's art of vibrant surfaces, expressively curved bodies, and haunting gestures of desire is an expression of energetic states of mind.

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) – the most outstanding sculptor of the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. François-Auguste-René Rodin is considered an exceptional innovator in sculpture and, alongside Praxiteles, Michelangelo, Cellini, and Canova, ranks among the most important sculptors of all time. His artistic output is so extensive that to this day no complete catalogue of his works has been published. It would certainly fill several hundred pages. Rodin attended the School of Applied Arts, having been rejected three times by the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. Rodin was a passionate admirer of beauty. He was particularly fascinated by the human body, which he repeatedly captured in its "vérité fugitive," in the fleeting moment: vibrant, pulsating beauty that took on a timeless form under his creative hands. Everything Rodin created with his hands radiates immense vitality and unbridled power.
