Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor who was most active during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Rodin has a huge influence on the modern art era. The Gates of Hell was done in 1899 after working on it for 20 years. It was originally supposed to be a set of doors to a museum, but the museum never became a thing and Rodin never finished the sculpture the way he wanted to. This sculpture has a of intricate details to it and it really shows how long it took for him to make the giant 19' x 13' piece made of bronze and plaster.
