Features: French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was a modern master sculptor whose influence spread from France across Europe. He was born in the same era as the Impressionist painters. In his sculptural art, elements of Impressionism and Symbolism coexist. In the history of art, Rodin's work is classified as Impressionism, with its forms and expressions flowing with light and shadow. However, in terms of theme, it does not celebrate the joy of life like Monet or Renoir, but instead harbors the heavy and profound shadows of the fin de siècle, leading his sculptures toward the world of Symbolism.
