Important Auguste Rodin Bronze

Description

In 1884 Rodin received a commission to create a large public monument honoring six French men who volunteered to be taken prisoner by an English army in exchange for the English releasing the town of Calais from a brutal 11-month siege. This reduced cast depicts one of the volunteers from the monument. Rather than idealized heroes, Rodin portrays the prominent citizens known as burghers as ordinary men experiencing personal confrontations with death. Jean d’Aire faces his fate with stoic resolve. The thick folds of his tunic weigh heavily on his body, as if symbolic of an internal struggle between his willingness to sacrifice his life and a desire to live. His intense glare into space seems to betray the dread and anxiety raging within his mind. Immensely popular as an independent sculpture, Rodin made numerous versions in various sizes. Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), study for Jean d'Aire from "The Burghers of Calais", signed A. Rodin on base with Alexis Rudier Fondeur Paris foundry mark on back of base, 18 1/8" H Signed on the interior with a raised signature as well as signed near the foot of the sculpture. This work is believed to be a lifetime casting. The work exhibits a strong patina and surface with great depth achieved in its sculpting. From the prominent collection of Hormoz Sabet NYC Chairman and CEO at Gulf Associates Inc.
