Product information "Auguste Rodin: Sculpture 'The Cathedral' (Étude pour le secret'), art bronze"

The name of the Gothic cathedral, which reaches for the heavens, is derived from the Greek kathedra, meaning 'seat of God'. For Rodin, the hands epitomised the creative, divine power of creation. Without touching each other, they embrace the space in which the idea, the divine spark, is created, like a dance of hands. With his study, Rodin elevated the fragment to a complete sculpture, thus anticipating large areas of modern sculpture. Original: Bronze, 65 cm high, Musée Rodin, Paris. Created in 1908. reduction.
