Auguste Rodin - Statuette, Le Baiser - 12 cm - Bronze

The Kiss, Auguste Rodin, bronze

The Kiss is a sculpture depicting an embracing couple, created around 1881 by Auguste Rodin. Its first large marble version dates from 1889, commissioned by the French state for the Universal Exposition.

With this work, Rodin creates the moment of rapture when the two lovers meet in a passionate embrace. The artist reveals the fateful meaning of the scene through a storm of emotions. Rodin's art, with its vibrant surfaces, bodies with expressive curves and insistent gestures of desire, is the expression of the energetic states of the soul.

The statuette offered for sale is a bronze reproduction of the artist's original work.
