Eve

Art of Bronze proudly offers this exquisite after cast of Auguste Rodin’s iconic bronze sculpture, Eve.  Created as a companion piece to Adam for Rodin’s monumental work The Gates of Hell, Eve stands as one of the artist’s most emotionally powerful and enduring figures.

The sculpture captures Eve in a moment of quiet despair following the Fall, her posture inward and contemplative, conveying vulnerability, sorrow, and humanity.  Rodin’s mastery is evident in the figure’s sinuous, elongated form and subtle surface modeling, which together express both fragility and fluid movement.  Every contour reflects his revolutionary approach to the human figure—raw, expressive, and deeply human.

This timeless work embodies Rodin’s ability to merge classical form with profound emotional depth, making it a striking and meaningful addition to any fine art collection, gallery, or interior setting.

Rodin is known for his ability to forgo realism and decoration in favor of using texture, surface details, and light and shadow to convey emotion. His focus on inner emotion and suffering is a turning point in the history of art and serves as a hallmark of Modernism.

Auguste Rodin (1840 – 1917) French Sculptor, born in Paris in 184, died in Meudon in 1917.  He is considered one of the prominent sculptors of the modern era.  His statues St. John the Baptist Preaching, Eve, The Age of Bronze, and The Thinker are world famous.  Rodin died on Nov. 17, 1917, and was buried at Meudon.  When Rodin was 76 years old he gave the French government the entire collection of his own works and other art objects he had acquired. They occupy the Hotel Biron in Paris as the Musee Rodin and are still placed as Rodin set them.  He played a pivotal role in redefining sculpture in the late nineteenth century, both excelling at and transcending the academic Beaux-Arts tradition.  His work redefined sculpture. Possessing an ability to organize a complex, turbulent, deeply pocketed surface, he set himself apart from the predominant figure sculpture tradition of the time.  Rodin’s most notable sculptures were roundly criticized during his lifetime.  A pose might be considered too informal; the lack of a traditional theme found wanting; the exactness of his forms too real; or the “unfinishedness” of his surfaces disrespectful.
