THE THINKER
Perhaps one of the most parodied works of art in the world, Le Penseur (The Thinker) by Auguste Rodin has inspired people worldwide for over 100 years. Often used as an icon of philosophy and the mental disciplines, the statuesque figure is wrought in the classical style, while the pose is uniquely Rodin. The Thinker, originally titled "The Poet," was commissioned by Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Museum of Decorative Arts) in 1880 to grace the great doors at the entrance to the museum meant to embody the 1321 work 'The Divine Comedy.' Originally meant to be Dante himself pondering the massive "Gates of Hell," The Thinker evolved to become a larger than life stand-alone piece. Currently traveling the world, the original cast of the Thinker statue is loaned to museums worldwide. Subsequent castings, over twenty in total, have been made from the original mould and reside on several continents.
