"Freres et Soeur” an original bronze sculpture by the renown French artist Auguste Rodin, depicts a young girl embracing her younger brother in a tender and protective gesture. The figures shown hugging are modeled in a relaxed and naturalistic style, with the girl's angular forms and the boy's chubby, cherubic body contrasting each other.
This statue is considered one of Rodin's most tender and sentimental works.
It was created during the same period as his more famous work, "The Gates of Hell," which is a massive sculpture that depicts scenes from Dante's Inferno. While "The Gates of Hell" is often associated with themes of suffering and despair, Freres et Soeur is seen as a counterpoint, offering a glimpse of tenderness and love. Sentimental tenderness is rare in Rodin’s sculptures; here, it reflects memories of sustaining love between brother and sister.
The Rodin Museum in Paris/ Musee Rodin in Meudon, France has this bronze sculpture in their collection as well as the original plaster model.
