The Gates of Hell (detail)1880-90 (cast 1926-28)Bronze Musée Rodin, Paris | |
This detail represents The Creator, a self-portrait of Rodin. Alone, at the foot of the right pilaster, is the solitary image of a bearded old man, The Creator, a Rodin self-portrait that could be considered the artist's signature: like medieval masters, he has included himself in his work. |
