The Thinker by Auguste Rodin – 1902; Musée Rodin, Paris, France
Although there have been many recreations of the famous sculpture, the piece was originally commissioned for a doorway surround called The Gates of Hell. Rodin’s inspiration for the piece came from Dante’s epic poem; The Devine Comedy. It is thought that the pose is intended to give viewers the impression that the man is pondering poetry, as he was placed in front of a visual representation of a poem. There have been 28 life size castings of the famous sculpture, but the original stands today in the Rodin Museum in France.
