Witness the power and emotion captured in this remarkable bronze sculpture depicting the courageous act of Eustache de Saint-Pierre. Commissioned by the city council of Calais, this sculpture by Rodin pays homage to the heroism and sacrifice of six citizens during the siege of Calais by the English in 1347. The figures, placed on a low rectangular plinth, stand at the same level as the viewer, creating a profound connection and inviting contemplation. Rodin's unconventional approach is evident in the sculpture's composition. The figures, draped in sackcloth as a symbol of their surrender, exude vulnerability and strength simultaneously. By combining studies of different hands and feet, Rodin achieves a level of expressiveness that defies traditional notions of heroic sculpture. This groundbreaking technique and anti-monumental approach establish Rodin as a pioneer of modern art. Crafted using the archaic lost-wax casting method, this bronze sculpture captures every intricate detail and nuance of Rodin's original vision. The brown patina finish adds depth and warmth to the piece, emphasizing the raw emotion conveyed by the figures. Mounted on a black marble base, this sculpture stands as a testament to Rodin's mastery and enduring legacy. With the artist's signature, this piece bears the mark of quality and is a true collector's item for those who appreciate the artistry and significance of Rodin's work.

Beautiful! Eye popping decoration.

Had trouble with the mounts not being well done and that the plaque did not lay flat to a surface. But the beauty of the piece made it worth the trouble.

All is o.k. Thanks for fast providing and delivering to Germany

Fast delivery within some days to Europe (Germany), UPS has collected the custom fees of about 45$. The quality of the statue ist very good, except a sharp edge on the labia. This shows that it is a copy of the originals. However, since meanwhile anywhere in the world the original is available (there are only some photos where the labia are looking more naturally), I am completely satisfied. Thanks for providing and delivering !

Fantastic piece

I have ordered a number of pieces now from Bronzhaus, and I never failed to be blown away. But this piece is especially exquisite. It arrived in perfect condition and is actually much nicer than the picture on the site.

Very pleased, great price, fast shipper

The eagle bronze has life like details. My grandson has already claimed it in my will. He was impressed as was I. Shipping took 3 days. Will buy from Bronzhaus again.
Usually the best price on the internet. I usually wait for the big sale to take the sting out of the crazy shipping cost. They do pack the product well.
