Faune et faunesse dit aussi Vieux chêne
1885
"Faune et faunesse dit aussi Vieux chêne" is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin depicting two mythological faun figures in an intimate, intertwined composition that emphasizes sensual movement and naturalistic form. The work exemplifies Rodin's characteristic approach to modeling the human body with expressive surfaces and dynamic poses, while the alternative title referencing an old oak tree suggests themes of nature and timelessness. Cast in bronze, the sculpture demonstrates Rodin's mastery of translating clay models into this durable medium while preserving the spontaneous quality of his original conception.
