Rodin
Rodin's famous sculpture reproduction. Depicted as a nude deep thinking man, unique pose with hand to the chin, right elbow to the left knee, and crouching position allows the statuette to survey the work with a contemplative feel.In 1880 French sculptor Auguste Rodin received the commission for the Gates of Hell, a decorative door for the future Museum of Decorative Arts (Musee des Beaux Arts), to be decorated with low reliefs inspired by The Divine Comedy of Dante. Although the Gates of Hell was never completed, some of Rodin's most famous sculptures and memorable pieces were originally done for it includingThe Thinker, Adam, Eve, and The Kiss. He sculpted them in several sizes and exhibited them extensively.
