Sculpture of The Thinker Rodin Reproduction

Rodin never revealed the exact thoughts of his Thinker, simply stating that it "thinks with its brain, but also with every muscle in its arms, back, and legs." This iconic sculpture, originally part of the 'Gates of Hell,' depicts a man seated in the tympanum, contemplating and judging the damned while being imprisoned himself. The Thinker was Rodin's first work to be displayed publicly, unveiled in front of the Panthéon on April 21, 1906, during a significant political and social crisis in France. Later, the statue was moved to the Hôtel Biron, now the Rodin Museum and the artist’s former studio.
