This captivating sculpture by Auguste Rodin represents a dramatic shift from traditional academic conventions of the time. Known as The Age of Bronze (L’Âge d’Airain), it showcases a nude male figure, modeled after Auguste Neyt, posed with his right hand clenched atop his head and his left hand gripping a pole. The realistic depiction of the human body, devoid of embellishments or symbolic props, drew criticism and suspicion from Rodin’s contemporaries. Many accused him of casting directly from a live model, an accusation Rodin countered by preserving photographs of Neyt, proving the artistry behind his work. Initially titled The Vanquished (Le Vaincu), the sculpture possibly referenced the despair and demoralization experienced by Rodin’s compatriots following the Franco-Prussian War. However, Rodin stripped the figure of its original spear and re-titled it, focusing solely on the expressiveness of the human form to convey emotion and meaning. This decision underscored his break from academic norms, emphasizing naturalism and raw human vulnerability. Rodin’s masterpiece marked a turning point in the history of sculpture, challenging traditional aesthetics and paving the way for modern artistic expression. The Age of Bronze stands as a testament to the power of form and realism in evoking profound emotional resonance, elevating it as one of Rodin’s most celebrated works.

A handsome casting

This larger version of “The Thinker” is a Christmas present for my two Grandsons ages 8 and 14. It is beautifully cast, authentically rendered
and a substantial piece which will grace any room where it is found. This is my third purchase from Bronzhaus and I could not be more pleased.

I bought this for a friend and I think he’ll really enjoy it. He’s recently recovered his faith in God and he lives kids. If he doesn’t want it, I’ll take it! It’s a magnificent piece and well worth the money.

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.
