About the Item

Permanently exhibited at the Musee Rodin in Paris, ‘The Thinker’ (French: Le Penseur), the original Auguste Rodin’s bronze sculpture of a heroic proportions depicts a nude male figure sitting on a rock, in the pose of deep thought and contemplation. This modern interpretation of the world-known masterpiece of a brilliant sculptor to a large extent resembles the original that inspired the contemporary artist. However, upon closer inspection, it turns out that this is a completely different work in conception, reflecting despair and suffering rather than philosophical reflections.
