This exquisite bronze sculpture is a tribute to Auguste Rodin's iconic work, "Eternal Idol" (1889). A masterful expression of love and devotion, the piece captures the deep, almost divine connection between two souls. It beautifully portrays the carnal embrace, embodying the reverence and adoration of a lover, where the beloved is idolized as a deity, loved ceaselessly and above all. Rodin’s clandestine lover and fellow sculptor, Camille Claudel, often served as his muse, inspiring many of his works, including this one. The deep emotional resonance of the sculpture is best reflected in Rodin's own words to Claudel: "My very dearest down on both knees before your beautiful body which I embrace.” The Eternal Idol encapsulates an intense, multifaceted emotion that defies a single interpretation, as noted by writer Rainer Maria Rilke: "Always the same enchanting strength. You dare not assign a single meaning to it... It has thousands of meanings." The embrace in this sculpture reflects both passion and submission, inviting the viewer to explore the complexities of love, desire, and spiritual connection. Rodin’s ability to evoke such a spectrum of emotions in his art cements this work as a timeless representation of human affection and reverence. This bronze sculpture was crafted using the ancient lost-wax casting method, ensuring the preservation of every detail in this deeply expressive piece. Finished with a rich brown patina, it is mounted on a black marble base, accentuating its elegance and form. The sculpture bears the signature of Auguste Rodin, making it not only a tribute to one of his most famous works but also a collectible masterpiece that captures the very essence of his artistic legacy.

Simply outstanding

The figure is a snapshot of time, taken with a very exuberant young lady enjoying freedom of a dance. Perfect bronze statue with appropriate colorations of the dress and the pan held in her hand. It is placed in my front entry and is the first sight of any visitor. I am very proud of this lovely bronze.

Excellent craftsmanship

I’ve wanted to display works of art that have both quality in terms of manufacture and presence. Every item I’ve purchased - around 10 has shown that. In particular their bigger items - they stand out.
