Item Description:
This bronze sculpture, titled "Glaucus", is a powerful and emotionally evocative work by the renowned French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Cast in dark patinated bronze, the sculpture depicts a dramatic mythological scene interpreted in Rodin’s distinctive expressive style, where muscular, raw human forms are rendered with visceral energy. The piece portrays the tragic transformation of Glaucus, a mortal fisherman turned sea god, often associated with themes of loss, metamorphosis, and divine punishment.

The surface reveals rich texture and dynamic movement, emblematic of Rodin’s mastery of anatomical form and psychological depth. This edition is numbered No. 8, and the base bears the artist’s signature “A. Rodin”, indicating it as part of an official series approved by the French Government and Musée Rodin.

A collector’s piece of notable provenance, this sculpture exemplifies the timeless appeal and technical brilliance of one of history’s greatest sculptors.

Artist Profile:
Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) is one of the most influential sculptors in Western art history. Breaking away from the academic traditions of his time, Rodin revolutionized sculpture with a modern approach that emphasized emotional expression and surface realism. Among his most celebrated works are The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Gates of Hell. His legacy continues through the Musée Rodin in Paris, which houses many of his masterpieces and manages authorized casts such as this piece.
