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.

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.

The sculpture I received from Bronzhaus is a beautiful rendering of a dog howling at the moon. It was exactly as described and pictures on the website. It arrived in perfect condition. Thank you for the excellent service and beautiful sculpture.

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.
