Item Details
Description
This bronze sculpture pays tribute to Auguste Rodin's renowned masterpiece, The Thinker. Originally conceived as The Poet, Rodin initially envisioned the statue atop a door, symbolizing Dante contemplating the world below. However, its universal significance became apparent as Rodin delved into the broader human experience. The Thinker captures a man in deep contemplation, portraying a profound internal struggle with its distinctive pose. Crafted using the Lost Wax Method, this 100% bronze sculpture features a two-toned patina, silver hair, and brown skin, showcasing Rodin's mastery. Mounted elegantly on a marble base, it invites viewers to reflect deeply on the human condition. Rodin, hailed as one of history's greatest sculptors, overcame early challenges, emerging from the Franco-Prussian War's shadows to revitalize French sculpture. Illustrated in Eternal Idol, his skillful modeling of two lovers' embrace reflects Rodin's enduring contribution to art, combining semi-impressionistic and semi-realistic elements. This work stands as a testament to Rodin's ability to convey emotion and humanity through the sculpted medium.
