Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) was a renowned French sculptor considered one of the pioneers of modern sculpture. Born in Paris, Rodin showed an early talent for art and pursued formal training at the École des Beaux-Arts. His innovative approach to sculpting challenged traditional conventions and pushed the boundaries of the medium.

Rodin's sculptures captured the human form with a striking realism and emotional intensity. He skillfully conveyed raw human emotions and complex psychological states through his works, often focusing on themes of passion, love, and suffering. One of his most famous works, "The Thinker," has become an iconic symbol of contemplation and intellectual pursuit.

Throughout his career, Rodin faced both criticism and acclaim, but his contributions to the art world were undeniable. His unique style, characterized by expressive gestures and dynamic compositions, influenced countless artists and left a lasting impact on the development of modern sculpture. Today, Rodin's sculptures are celebrated and admired in museums and public spaces around the world, solidifying his status as a true master of his craft.

Few sculptures are as iconic as Auguste Rodin’s The Thinker. Lost in thought, seated with eyes cast downwards, muscles taught with exertion, he embodies the mental struggle and anguish of creativity.

According to Rodin, "What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with his brain, with his knitted brow, his distended nostrils and compressed lips, but with every muscle of his arms, back, and legs, with his clenched fist and gripping toes."

Conceived in 1880 as part of Rodin’s epic creation, The Gates of Hell (a pair of bronze doors commissioned for a decorative arts museum in Paris), The Thinker has since become an independent work that exists today in many casts and sizes.

The Gates of Hell was inspired by Dante's Inferno, with the sculpture, modeled after the poet himself, as its crowning element. Initially entitled The Poet, the contemplative figure represents all creators. Rodin himself identified with The Thinker, and a version of the sculpture keeps vigil over his tomb.
