EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable sculpture titled "Pierre de Wissant tte colossale" created by the renowned artist Auguste Rodin in 1908/1909. Crafted from bronze, this monumental piece measures 82.5 x 49 x 54 cm and exudes a sense of grandeur and strength. The sculpture depicts Pierre de Wissant, one of the six Burghers of Calais who volunteered to sacrifice themselves during the Hundred Years' War. Rodin masterfully captures their anguish and determination through his intricate detailing and expressive style. Inscribed with Rodin's signature on the lower left below the head, this artwork bears witness to his exceptional talent and artistic vision. The giesserstempel mark found behind at the lower edge of the base reveals that it was cast by Alexis Rudier, a prominent foundry in Paris known for its exceptional craftsmanship. Auguste Rodin, born in Paris in 1840 and passing away in Meudon in 1917, remains one of history's most influential sculptors. His ability to convey raw emotions through his works has solidified his place as a pioneer of modern sculpture. This print serves as a testament to both Rodin's genius and Pierre de Wissant's enduring legacy. It is an exquisite representation of artistry that captivates viewers with its profound narrative and timeless beauty.
