(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Auguste Rodin (1840 - 1917) was a French sculptor.
Rodin worked in both marble and bronze. Other notable sculptures by Rodin include The Burghers of Calais (French Les Bourgeois de Calais), Caryatid Fallen Under Her Stone, She Who Once Was the Beautiful Heaulmiere and his funerary monuments for Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac.
Rodin had an affair with one of his (female) students, the sculptor and graphic artist Camille Claudel.
Auguste Rodin died in Meudon, Île-de-France, France on November 17, 1917.
The French government owns the rights to Rodin's work - acquired in exchange for a lifetime lease on a home and studio - and limits the number of reproductions that can be made. The Musée Rodin, in Paris, has an excellent collection of his work, much of it displayed in an outdoor garden.
Where to find Rodin's sculptures:
Rodin the artist should not be confused with Rodan the monster.
