11xn083980 This Is A Bronze Rendition Of The French Sculptor Auguste Rodin'S,"Eternal Idol" (1889). This Is Masterful Sculpture Honoring The Love Between Two Souls. It Shows The Carnal Embrace Of The Body That Owns The Beloved Soul Of All You Love, Of The One You Idol, Above All Else Like A Deity, Ceaselessly. It Is Well Known That His Clandestine Lover, As Well As His Fellow Famous Sculptor-Colleague, Camille Claudel, Was Often A Source Of Inspiration And Model Behind His Works Of Art. To Best Describe The Emotion Evoked Through This Piece, It Is Best To Let The Artist Words Speak,"My Very Dearest Down On Both Knees Before Your Beautiful Body Which I Embrace.” - Letter From Rodin To Camille Claudel (1844). The Writer Rainer Maria Rilke Wrote The Following About The Eternal Idol: "Always The Same Enchanting Strength. You Dare Not Assign A Single Meaning To It (As Is So Often The Case With Rodin). It Has Thousands Of Meanings. This Mastery Was Cast Using The Antiquated Technique Of Lost-Wax Casting And Stained With A Brown Patina Finish. This Heart-Piercing Sculpture Is Mounted Upon A Black Marble Base With The Artist Auguste Rodin'S Signature. François-Auguste-René Rodin (12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917), Known As Auguste Rodin Was A French Sculptor.

He Was Schooled Traditionally, Took A Craftsman-Like Approach To His Work, And Desired Academic Recognition,Although He Was Never Accepted Into Paris'S Foremost School Of Art. From The Unexpected Realism Of His First Major Figure—Inspired By His 1875 Trip To Italy—To The Unconventional Memorials Whose Commissions He Later Sought, Rodin'S Reputation Grew, Such That He Became The Preeminent French Sculptor Of His Time. By 1900, He Was A World-Renowned Artist...................SHIPPING USA: $25....HI, ALASKA, CANADA: $69...ALL OTHER COUNTRIES: $169
