The Thinker, Pre-Damage

The Thinker, Pre-Damage
This sculpture at the Cleveland Museum of Art is one of about ten such casts made by the sculptor Auguste Rodin while working on his never-completed Gates of Hell series, which was based on Dante's Divine Comedy. The sculpture, which sits outside the south entrance to the museum, was badly damaged by a pipe bomb in 1970.
