Product information "Auguste Rodin: Sculpture 'The Thinker' (26 cm), art bronze"
This major work by the most important European sculptor of his time is regarded as a symbol of human reason and creative power. 'He is dreaming', says Rodin about his masterpiece. 'Slowly the fertile thought develops in his brain. Suddenly he is no longer a dreamer; he is a creator.'Just a quarter of a century after its creation, 'The Thinker' became a French national monument: the monumental sculpture was donated to the city of Paris by public subscription and ceremoniously unveiled in front of the Grand Nation's memorial, the Paris Panthéon, in 1906: LE PENSEUR DE RODIN OFFERT is the inscription on the pedestal. A bronze cast stands in the garden of Rodin's last Parisian residence, now the Musée Rodin. Original: Musée Rodin, Paris. Created in 1880, signed in the cast. Polymer ars mundi museum replica, cast by hand. With bronzed surface. Reduction. Height 26 cm.
