The Musée Rodin in Paris chose Italy for the final exhibition dedicated to the celebrations of Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), concluding this way a programme of great exhibitions which involved the Grand Palais in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
The exhibition dedicated to Rodin in Italy displays the most important masterpieces from The Kiss to The Thinker, and in addition, you’ll admire a huge painting by Edvard Munch, painted in 1907, portraying Rodin’s Thinker in Dr Linde’s garden (who was an important collector of both Rodin’s and Munch’s works) in Lübeck.
The exhibition will illustrate all phases of the artistic journey of the sculptor, highlighting his interest in Michelangelo and Renaissance sculpture in Italy, but also Rodin’s ability to transform matter into living and sensual matter.
