(Click on above picture to enlarge) Like many of Rodin's best-known individual sculptures,including The Thinker, the embracing couple depicted in the sculpture appeared originally as part of a group of reliefs decorating Rodin's monumental bronze portal The Gates of Hell, commissioned for a planned museum of art in Paris. The couple were later removed from the Gates and replaced with another pair of lovers located on the smaller right-hand column. The famous kiss statue by Rodin is our most popular statue by Rodin. It makes a great gift for weddings, anniversaries or for your own collection. Beautiful and historical piece of bronze. |
