Inspired by "The Thinker" by Auguste Rodin
Conceived in 1880, Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker" was originally part of the monumental bronze portal, "The Gates of Hell," embodying Dante Alighieri's introspective spirit. The inspiration for this masterpiece came from Dante's "Inferno," leading to the creation of various figures symbolizing themes from the epic. Known for its intricate details and emotional intensity, Rodin described the figure as thinking with every muscle. Initially commissioned for a Parisian museum that was never built, "The Thinker" gained independent fame, with the original held at the Musée Rodin in Paris and casts worldwide. It has become a universal symbol of deep thought, signifying its enduring cultural significance and legacy in art.
