Me and camera in someone else’s town…
Rodin’s work at his museum and former home in Paris blew me away, best sculpture I have seen in my life, an incredible collection, an amazing body of work, and in a beautiful building and grounds. His most famous piece is The Thinker but wasn’t my favourite at all. That would have to go to The Gates of Hell (a small detail featured in 2nd shot above). Jaw-dropping. He was inspired by Dante’s depiction of Satan’s lair and it was clearly a very positive influence as it produced some of his greatest work. Just shows evil can sometimes be a force for good, and a killer paradox in the process…and a pertinent piece for these times.
