El monumento a Balzac de Rodin: ¿"saco de papas" u obra incomprendida?

The Balzac Monument (1799-1850) was commissioned by the French Society of Letters as a tribute to the most illustrious writer of the 19th century. When Rodin (1840-1917) was commissioned to create this monument, he faced a dilemma: How to represent Balzac's glory and greatness? He then embarked on a path of experimentation that took seven years of research, sketches, controversy, and repeated rejections. The result? A work completely outside the aesthetic canon of monumental statuary, a source of furious criticism, and a piece that Rodin never saw cast in bronze during his lifetime. I invite you to delve into the world of monuments and try to understand the contributions of this work to the aesthetics of the 19th and 20th centuries. Welcome to the world of Rodin!
