The sculpture "Three Shadows"

The sculpture “Three Shadows” is one of the unique works of the famous master Auguste Rodin, now it is located in Paris on the territory of the Rodin Museum, in the adjacent park. The work on the three figures lasted for many years from 1840 to 1917. The exhibit is an enlarged copy of the original in the museum. It is made of bronze and is included in the composition called “Gates of Hell”.

"Three Shadows" is based on Dante's "Divine Comedy," which tells of three damned souls standing at the entrance to Hell. The work of the sculptor was influenced by the exhibits of Michelangelo, because the heads of the figures are turned at an unnatural angle, creating an invisible line. In this style, Rodin was not equal in his time.

On the territory of spanking, where an interesting sculpture is placed, you can see other works of Auguste. One of the most famous is the exhibit called the Thinker, which is surrounded by decorative trees on a high elevation. You can also see the patriotic work “Citizens of Calais”, the personified sculpture “Beethoven” and the interesting exposition “Ugolino”, located in the center of an overgrown pond.
