Rodin's famous 'Burghers of Calais' are a historical symbol of self-sacrifice: during the Hundred Years' War, Calais was besieged by the English fleet and offered heroic resistance for 11 months until the inhabitants, suffering from famine, offered to surrender. King Edward III accepted on the condition that six citizens volunteered to be executed on behalf of the town: 'bareheaded and unshod - dressed in the poor sinner's smock and with a rope around their necks'. At the request of Queen Philippine, Edward III spared the lives of the brave men and refrained from destroying the city. 1886 was the first time that Auguste Rodin depicted the courageous deeds of ordinary citizens rather than the powerful. Today, a cast of the life-size sculpture group stands as a national monument in England and France behind the Houses of Parliament in London, in the garden of the Musée Rodin in Paris - and in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Faithful museum replica. Edition in fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, chiselled, polished and patinated by hand. Height 43 cm. Weight approx. 6 kg.

The name of the Gothic cathedral, which reaches for the heavens, is derived from the Greek kathedra, meaning 'seat of God'. For the sculptor Rodin, 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 and thus anticipated large areas of modern sculpture. Original: Bronze, 65 cm high, Musée Rodin, Paris. Reduction.

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.
Rodin saw himself as a creative giant, and his thinker also reveals a trait of the greatest sculptor of his era. His long preoccupation with Dante had caused him existential angst; he developed ideas of a heaven and a hell whose boundaries were indeterminable. In 1880, he received a state commission for a monumental portal for the Musée des Arts décoratifs - his 'Gates of Hell', developed from Dante's 'Inferno', whose 186 dramatic and dynamic figures occupied him to the end. He left some of the figures designed for the gate free. This includes the 'Thinker', powerfully modelled with swelling muscles and immobile, closed limbs, who ponders the tragic fate of humanity under intense tension. The form developed for the play of light and shadow is simplified, the figure lifted out of time into a universal state. Through such expressive vehemence, Rodin became the greatest inspiration of modernism, and one of the 40 authentic 70 cm high bronze examples of the 'Thinker' last realised a sale price of 10.7 million dollars at an auction at Christie's in Paris in 2022.Original: Musée Rodin, Paris.
