Introduce yourself to the captivating world of Auguste Rodin's masterpiece, "The Thinker" (French: Le Penseur). Housed in the renowned Musee Rodin in Paris, this bronze and marble sculpture captures the essence of a man engaged in solemn meditation, grappling with an intense internal struggle. Widely recognized as a symbol of philosophy, it invites contemplation and introspection. Originally titled "The Poet," this sculpture was initially commissioned as part of a grand project by the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. The ambitious undertaking aimed to create a monumental portal, serving as the entrance to the museum. Inspired by Dante's "The Divine Comedy," Rodin infused his work with themes from the epic poem and named the portal "The Gates of Hell." Each statue within the ensemble represented a key character from the literary masterpiece. In its original conception, "The Thinker" portrayed Dante himself, standing before the Gates of Hell, deeply immersed in contemplation over his monumental poem. In the final rendition, a miniature version of the statue perches atop the gates, silently pondering the infernal destiny of those below. True to Rodin's vision, this sculpture presents a nude figure, mirroring the tradition of Michelangelo's heroic renderings. It serves as a representation not only of intellectual prowess but also of poetic expression, intertwining both aspects seamlessly. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this sculpture was cast using the venerable "Lost Wax Method," ensuring its enduring quality. Adorned with a lustrous brown patina, it exudes a timeless allure.

Really stands out. I'm building a 18" oak pedestal to display it on. Expertly crafted. I've purchased 4 of 5 peices from Bronahaus and although they are all quality this one takes the cake.

A welcome addition to the pride

The hot case bronze cat is a welcome and beautiful addition to our home. And neither Michelle or Barack--my lively feline overlords--has tried to knock it off the pedestal yet.

symbolic of brotherhood

As of yet the bronze is with me at home. I will be taking it to my brother next month when I see him for the first time in ages. This bronze is right on so many levels. I would rather this review wasnt posted until the end of November just in case he looks and this is afterall a suprise.
