The Age of Bronze

The Age of Bronze is a bronze statue by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917). The figure is of a life-size nude male, 72 in. (182.9 cm) high.

Rodin continued to produce casts of the statue for several decades after it was modelled in 1876. Rodin had a Belgian soldier pose for the statue, keeping photographs which survive. The pose partly derives from Michelangelo's Dying Slave in the Louvre Museum, which has the elbow raised above the head.
