Bronze Statue, Fine Art Sculpture Our scaled reproduction in hand-patinated bonded bronze was scanned from a bronze of The Thinker in The Met collection, which was cast about 1910 from an original 19th-century model by Auguste Rodin (French, 1840-1917). Rodin's first government commission was for a monumental portal covered with sculptural reliefs for a Paris museum. He proposed a vast composition based loosely on Dante's Divine Comedy, but the work remained unfinished. The artist later began to extract individual figures from the reliefs and enlarge them to create freestanding sculptures. In its original position, The Thinker was at the center of the portal's lintel. The detached, brooding figure has been invested with multiple meanings-poet, judge, sculptor. Click

Giambologna's models were created for the equestrian statue of Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, which was finished in 1594.

The Met Store Cycladic Head Sculpture
352.95 USD
This strikingly abstract sculpture was reproduced from an intriguing marble head of a woman, of a type that represents the first flowering of marble sculpture in prehistoric Greece. The original head, made 2700-2500 B. C., is from the Cyclades, an island group in the Aegean Sea that's rich in marble, emery, and obsidian. Inhabitants of these islands began to produce marble figures and vessels as early as 5000 B. C. Little is known about these figural sculptures, which are predominantly women; the frequency of female figures makes it likely they were related to fertility. The Met's ancient sculpture displays traces of the eyes in extremely low relief, indicating they were formerly rendered with pigment.
The Met Store Statuette of a Hippopotamus Sculpture

The Met Store Statue of Aphrodite Sculpture

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Rodin The Thinker Unisex Tee - Large
49.95 USD
An art tee-shirt inspired by The Met collection. The iconic figure featured on this stylish tee is Auguste Rodin's (French, 1840-1917) The Thinker (modeled ca. 1880, cast ca. 1910), who was intended to sit over the lintel of the artist's monumental ongoing project The Gates of Hell, contemplating the fate of the damned. Independent bronzes of The Thinker became especially popular among American patrons, and this cast in the Museum's European Sculpture and Decorative Arts holdings was commissioned from the sculptor's studio by Thomas Fortune Ryan, the principal founder of The Met's Rodin collection. As one critic described it, The Thinker-simultaneously cerebral and muscular-embodies both "dream and action."

In its subtle modeling and stylized features, the sculptor has captured the lithe aloofness and dignity characteristic of the feline, which served as the zoomorphic form of the powerful protective goddess Bastet. A collar is engraved around the neck, from which is suspended an wedjat-eye pectoral for protection and well-being.

Parastone Bv Auguste Rodin: Danaïd Sculpture
53.95 USD
Give an artful gift. This striking reproduction pays homage to Auguste Rodin's (French, 1840-1917) design for Danaïd, also known as The Spring. The original sculpture references a story from Greek mythology, in which the Danaïds, or daughters of Danaos, are forced to fill up bottomless vessels with water as punishment for murdering their husbands on their wedding night. Rodin chose to depict one of the Danaïds in a moment of exhaustion and despair, realizing the impossibility of her task. Danaïd was initially conceived as part of The Gates of Hell, but Rodin ultimately elected not to include it. Produced in cooperation with the Musée Rodin, Paris. Click

Parastone Bv François Pompon: Owl Mini Sculpture
39.95 USD
This small resin mini sculpture was inspired by a delightful chouette (owl) sculpture by François Pompon (French, 1855-1933), a one-time assistant to Auguste Rodin. The artist abstracted the bird's rounded form by smoothing the body and removing most anatomical detail. Between 1918 and 1923, he created several variations on this avian theme in wood, plaster, and bronze, returning to the owl subject again in 1926. Pompon produced numerous animal sculptures that were beloved for their simplicity and charm.
