Auguste Rodin was a famous French sculptor. He was born on November 12,1840 in Paris. His parents were Jean-Baptist Rodin and Marie Cheffer. Rodin began his studies on drawing, but when he saw clay he fell in love. Although most on Rodin's sculptures were on nude bodies, people still like his work. As a child Rodin was severely nearsighted and very shy.
Rodin began his art studies and the age of 14. His first art school was Petite Ecole and his second was the Antoine Barye. Rodin said, "When I was very young, as long ago as I can remember, I used to draw. At a grocers where my mother did her shopping, they used they used to wrap their prunes in paper cones made from the pages of illustrated magazines, and even from engravings. I used to copy them."(the Hands of Genius13).At night Rodin made models for his own entertainment, but in the day he worked for an ornament maker. In the Salon of 1877 Rodin studied the nude male figure. He was taught to sculpt by Jean-Baptist Carpeaux.Rodin said that, " For the first time I saw clay, and I felt as if I were standing in heaven."(The hands of Genius12). After Rodin learned how to sculpt he applied "Man with a broke nose" to the school of Beaux three times and it was rejected three times. Critics accused Rodin of making a cast of a living person by pouring bronze over them. Rodin was considered to be Frances greatest artist. After graduating Rodin became a decretive sculptor.
The government gave Rodin a studio in Paris where he worked for the rest of his life. Most of Rodin's sculptures were of monuments of the past. His sculpture "the Gates Of Hell" was inspired by Dante's "Inferno" but it was never finished. In 1917 Rodin married his long time companion Rose Bemet. Three weeks after marring her she died, and ten months after her death Rodin died in 1917. .
