Auguste Rodin

Éternel Printemps, second état, 2ème réduction, dite aussi "taille no. 4"

1884

"Éternel Printemps" (Eternal Spring) is one of Rodin's most celebrated works depicting two intertwined nude figures in an intimate embrace, originally conceived as part of his monumental "The Gates of Hell." This bronze cast represents the second state and smaller fourth size reduction of the composition, allowing the sculpture to be more widely accessible in multiple scales and editions. The work exemplifies Rodin's mastery of sensual modeling and his ability to capture a moment of tender passion frozen in bronze.
