The Age of Bronze in Berlin - a photo on Flickriver

            The Age of Bronze / L'Âge d'airain by Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), modeled in 1876. In the background Edouard Manet’s Im Wintergarden, 1878-79.

When the statue of a naked male was first exhibited at the 1877 Salon in Paris, France, Rodin was falsely accused of having made the statue by casting a living model, a charge that was vigorously denied.

A Belgian soldier, Auguste Neyt, posed for the nude statue. Rodin kept photographs, which survived and showed the remarkable likeness to the model (in the Rodin Museum).

Well over a hundred bronze copies of the 183 cm life-sized sculpture were cast in Rodin’s lifetime with many in museums but several in private hands. One sold for over €4 million in 2011.

On display in the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
