The first time I visited the Rodin museum was in 2001. It's here that I fell in love with sculpture. The picture above is the step by step process to create a bronze sculpture. It is called the lost wax technique This is passion, a true labour of love. 
A very moving sculpture is Les Bourgeois de Calais.
La Porte de l'Enfer based on Dante's Inferno.
A close up, do you recognize Le Penseur? An incredible amount of effort, wouldn't you say?
Camille Claudel was a student of Rodin....his muse, his mistress. Her work is amazing...emotional.She wound up in an insane asylum for 30 years. Learn more about Rodin and Camille here
