Rodin Museum, Paris,
1884
This is a
reproduction of a
bronze sculpture made
around 1916-7 and it
was modeled around
1884. The torso of
the woman in this
group is recognizable
as that of a model
named Adèle
Abruzzezzi. Rodin
used her repeatedly,
and she also appears
in a very different
context in The Gates
of Hell. Eternal
Springtime it’s full
of awakening
sensuality and
implying neither
guilt nor punishment
to come. The
sculpture was
extremely popular,
and Rodin repeated it
often both in marble
and in bronze. This
bronze displays the
sensuous, veiled
quality of carving
that creates an
impressionistic play
of light and shade on
the surface of the
medium characteristic
of the sculptures of
Rodin's later career.
The two young nude
figures meet in a
kiss. Her legs graze
the ground and her
upper body is held in
a taut arc and
supported by the
embrace of the male
figure. He is posed
precariously on the
edge of a rocky
mound, crossing his
legs, extending his
left foot beyond the
base of the sculpture
and his left arm in a
full and graceful
reach into space.
