- Lot Description
After Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) French, "The Cathedral" Resin Sculpture by Eleganza.

Their label is on the underside of the base.
Size: 7 3/4 x 9 x 15 1/2 in.
Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was a French sculptor born in Mouffetard, Paris, into a religious, hardworking family. From an early age, he focused on drawing, attending the Petite École and studying life drawing at the Gobelin Tapestry Works. By 17 he had won his first prize in clay, but his unorthodox style led to repeated rejection from the École des Beaux-Arts, so he studied at the School of Decorative Arts under Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. Rodin spent much of the next two decades producing decorative sculpture and worked as an assistant to Albert Carrier de Belleuse. Following the death of his sister, he briefly joined a Christian order, later returning to sculpture under Antoine-Louis Barye. He began a lifelong relationship with Rose Beuret, with whom he had a son. In 1875 he traveled to Italy and was profoundly influenced by Michelangelo. Rodin became a pioneer of modern sculpture, blending Realism and Impressionism, often producing life-like works so detailed they were rumored to be cast from living models. He explored erotic and political themes, including the famously controversial The Kiss. Celebrated internationally during his lifetime, he received honors from Oxford University and the French government. Rodin died in Meudon, France, in 1917, a year after suffering a stroke, leaving a legacy that redefined 19th-century sculpture.
