The Cathedral - Le Cathedrale Rodin Statue New 18 cm - 7, 1 Inch

this is a unique marble cast statue of the cathedral by auguste rodin. Rodin was a highly original sculptural genius but he openly acknowledged his indebtedness to the artists who had preceded him; the masters of ancient Greece & The Renaissance; Phidias, Donatello, Michelangelo. He was also intensely interested in Gothic art, the cathedrals of France. After viewing & studying the Magnificent cathedral at Amiens he felt that the basic inspiration came from the voices of nature, from the trees with their strong limbs reaching upward. in the two right hands with fingers arching together he probably thought that he had discovered the source & inspiration for the gothic arch, that arch which with repetition & expansion led to the creation of the superb gothic cathedrals. The hands are obviously those of separate individuals. A spiritual communication between the two is expressed but the fingers & hands remain slightly separated. Could he, through that separation, have been expressing the aloneness of all human beings, the desire for a complete unification which is never realized? statue is brand new & has been carefully hand worked to the last detail, the quality of both the first material & the work are excellent. the size is 18 x 11 cm ( 7,1 x 4,3 inch ) the weight is 0,65 kgr Material & Manufacture process: Cast Marble Cast Marble statues are made from a composite material in which natural crushed Greek Marble stone is mixed with a small quantity of resin that works as a glue.
