The Great Shadow

The Great Shadow stands 1.92 meters tall and 1.12 meters wide, displaying the signature bronze craftsmanship of French sculptor Auguste Rodin.

Created in 1898, this sculpture represents a period when Rodin established new standards in artistic expression through his experimental approaches to form and composition.

The statue forms part of an extensive collection of outdoor sculptures in the Tuileries Garden, alongside works by other prominent French and international artists.

Visitors can view The Great Shadow without entrance fees during the Tuileries Garden opening hours from 7 AM to 11 PM every day.

The sculpture's placement among the garden's geometric patterns creates different visual perspectives as sunlight moves across its bronze surface throughout the day.
