Auguste Rodin
Fonderie de Coubertin 1877 |
Sculpture of a life-size nude male. Rodin had a Belgian soldier pose for the statue, keeping photographs which survive (in the Rodin Museum). The pose partly derives from Michelangelo's Dying Slave in the Louvre Museum, which has the elbow raised above the head. Rodin continued to produce casts of the statue for several decades after it was modelled in 1876.
