Description

Auguste Rodin, 1840 - 1917, is one of the few internationally renown artist who achieved both popular and critical acclaim during his lifetime. His sculptures express an extravagant monumentality; the human body seems defined by its own sexual energy.
The "Danaide" reserved and yet extremely sensuous, is one of Rodins most famed single figures. Originally created by the master for the doorway of the "Musee des Arts Decoratifs" in Paris, it is based on the theme of Dante's Devine Comedy. The "Gateway to Hell" occupied Rodin for almost 40 years and was never fully completed. It is considered to be a crucial point in his entire creative development.
Les Beaux Arts Edition No. 12 is in homage to Auguste Rodin. The "Danaide" an exact miniature replica of the original sculpture by Rodin. Hand-cast, meticulously engraved, numbered and signed. Worldwide edition limited to 14,999 copies.
