Lost Wax Cast Bronze Sculpture on Base Inspired by Auguste Rodin's The thinker

About the Item

A lost wax cast bronze sculpture, inspired by Auguste Rodin's The Thinker, in dark patina on black marble base. This item is available now and this is also a current production. Created with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) which allows for great precision and finesse in the details, this bronze statue is inspired by one of Auguste Rodin's world famous sculptures entitled The Thinker. His original was conceived in 1880 and devised to adorn the top of The Gates of Hell. The Thinker was originally supposed to depict Dante, leaning forward to observe the circles of Hell, pondering on his work 'The Divine Comedy'. However Rodin exhibited the sculpture independently of The Gates in 1889 and called it The Thinker. Our piece boasts a dark patina and is resting on a black veined marble base of circular shape. With its incredible inspiration and lost wax rendition, this contemporary bronze cast of The Thinker will make for a wonderful decorative addition to any home.

  • Sculpture Sandstone Carved Figurative The Thinker
    Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
    The Thinker Mid-Century Modern, sandstone sculpture depicting a seated man, artist unknown This Mid-Century Modern interpretation of The Thinker interprets the pain, release and liberation associated with free-thinking. The man conveys vulnerability, tenderness and acceptance, his body yielding into the support of the chair creating a sense of rest and peace. Provenance: Private Collection acquired from The Hidden Gallery, Scotland Measures: Height 50cm.,20" Length 33cm., 15" Depth 22cm., 81/2" The Thinker - Auguste Rodin (1840 -1917). Cast made by Fonderie Alexis Rudier in 1904. Transfered to the musée Rodin in 1922. When conceived in 1880 in its original size (approx. 70 cm) as the crowning element of The Gates of Hell, seated on the tympanum, The Thinker was entitled The Poet. He represented Dante, author of the Divine Comedy which had inspired The Gates, leaning forward to observe the circles of Hell, while meditating on his work. The Thinker was therefore initially both a being with a tortured body, almost a damned soul, and a free-thinking man, determined to transcend his suffering through poetry. The pose of this figure owes much to Carpeaux’s Ugolino (1861) and to the seated portrait of Lorenzo de’ Medici carved by Michelangelo (1526-31). While remaining in place on the monumental Gates...
