Hvem daterede Auguste Rodin?

Auguste Rodin (François-Auguste-René Rodin, født 12. november 1840 i Paris, død 17. november 1917) var en fransk billedhugger.

Født i en arbejderfamilie i Paris fik han en central rolle i moderne skulpturhistorie som både en mester i og en oprører mod Beaux-Arts traditionen.

På trods af det talent, der ses i hans portræt af den præst, der hjalp ham med at opdage talentet, blev Rodin nægtet adgang til Beaux kunstakademiet. Han blev optaget på en skole for dekorativ skulptur og flyttede til Belgien for at arbejde i et studie, der producerede den slags.

Blandt hans bedst kendte skulpturer er Grubleren og Kysset. Grubleren findes i mange originale versioner, bl.a. på Glyptoteket og ses i talrige film, bl.a. The Blues Brothers (1980) og Nat på museet 2 (2009).

Rodin var inspireret af renæssancebilledhuggeren Michelangelo, hvilket kommer til udtryk ved Rodins meget muskuløse skulpturer.

I juli 2015 blev en version af Rodins buste L'homme au nez cassé (Manden med den brækkede næse) stjålet fra Glyptoteket.

Camille Rosalie Claudel (French pronunciation: [kamij klodɛl] ; 8 December 1864 – 19 October 1943) was a French sculptor known for her figurative works in bronze and marble. She died in relative obscurity, but later gained recognition for the originality and quality of her work. The subject of several biographies and films, Claudel is well known for her sculptures including The Waltz and The Mature Age.

The national Camille Claudel Museum in Nogent-sur-Seine opened in 2017. Claudel was a longtime associate of sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the Musée Rodin in Paris has a room dedicated to her works.

Sculptures created by Claudel are also held in the collections of several major museums including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

Gwendolen "Gwen" Mary John (22 June 1876 – 18 September 1939) was a Welsh artist who worked in France for most of her career. Her paintings, mainly portraits of anonymous female sitters, are rendered in a range of closely related tones. Although in her lifetime, John's work was overshadowed by that of her brother Augustus and her mentor and lover Auguste Rodin, awareness and esteem for John's artistic contributions has grown considerably since her death.
