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...

Japanese antique stone Buddha/1700s/Edo period/garden figurines/Kannon Bodhisatt
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
A very nice stone Buddha has arrived.
A stone Buddha made in the mid-Edo period (1700s).
It has the appearance of Kannon Bodhisattva.
This stone Buddha was originally made to pray for the safety of travelers, such as at the entrance of a village or in the middle of a fork in a mountain pass.
Also, in Japan, there is a way of thinking that God and Buddha coexist.
In the case of this stone Buddha, it is possible that it is a god in the form of Kannon Bodhisattva.
Therefore, in Japan, such stone Buddhas are sometimes called gods of travel or gods of the road.
A similar item was posted in the Japanese Stone Buddha Encyclopedia, so I will post the photo here.
