L'Âge d'airain, Bronze masterwork at the Rodin Museum, Paris, France.
The bronze sculpture L'Âge d'airain depicts a life-sized man in an awakening position, featuring meticulously executed anatomical details throughout the form.
Auguste Rodin created this work between 1877 and 1880, using Belgian soldier Auguste Ney as his model to achieve an unprecedented level of realism.
This sculpture represents a turning point in art history, introducing a new approach to the human form that continues to influence contemporary artists.
Visitors can view L'Âge d'airain in Room 3 on the ground floor of the Rodin Museum, where the sculpture maintains a permanent display position.
The initial controversy surrounding this work, accused of being directly cast from the model, launched Rodin toward international recognition.
