Auguste
Rodin (1840–1917). He was considered the greatest
French sculptor of his
time. As a
realist he believed that the artist should be inspired by
nature. One of his most famous sculptures was "The
Thinker."
Rodin's later works included portraits and monumental representations of famous figures.
