This sculpture, like "The Kiss" and "The Thinker," is a study for Rodin's never-completed, legendary monumental work "The Gates of Hell." It exemplifies the genius of Rodin's "speaking" surfaces.
Original: Bronze, Musée Faure, Aix-les-Bains. Created in 1880.
Ars Mundi museum replica, hand-cast. Version in precious bronze, cast using the lost-mold technique, finely patinated and polished. Height 45 cm, weight approximately 7.5 kg.
François-Auguste-René Rodin is considered an ingenious renewer of the sculpture and, along with Praxiteles, Michelangelo, Cellini and Canova, is one of the greatest sculptors of all time. His sculptural work is so extensive that no complete catalog of his works has yet appeared. It would certainly include several hundred pages. Rodin studied art at the school for applied art because he was rejected three times at the Paris University of Art. Rodin was a glowing admirer of beauty. The human body, which he repeatedly captivated in his "Vérité fugitives", immortalized him at the moment of the moment: lively, pulsating beauty, which took up imperative shape under his creative hands. Whatever created Rodin with his hands, radiates tremendous vitality and untamed power.
