sculpture in bronze

The Thinker was initially named The Poet (French: Le Poète)

Rodin first conceived the figure as part of his work The Gates of Hell commissioned in 1880, but the first of the familiar monumental bronze castings was made in 1904, and is now exhibited at the Musée Rodin, in Paris.

The work depicts a nude male figure of heroic size sitting on a rock. He is seen leaning over, his right elbow placed on his left thigh, holding the weight of his chin on the back of his right hand. The pose is one of deep thought and contemplation, and the statue is often used as an image to represent philosophy.

Title: The Thinker
Artist: Auguste Rodin (French, Paris 1840–1917 Meudon)
Date: modeled ca. 1880, cast ca. 1910
