François Auguste René Rodin was born on November 12, 1840. Rodin is one of the most prominent French sculptors in history. One of his most famous works was a beautiful sculpture called The Kiss. First exhibited in 1877 in Paris, this piece was proclaimed as a masterpiece by many. In creating this piece, Rodin drew from his ability to capture the mood of a particular moment and managed to create a sense of sensuality and romance. I found this particular piece very interesting because it contrasts many of his other famous pieces of work. He has shown to have a special skill in sculpting darker mood type pieces but here he is expressing a sense of love and affection.
