There was still time for one last bit of culture before we leave Paris on Friday. Tomorrow we travel to Laval, by TGV train, to see Gordon and Kate. But today Ann wanted to see some of the famous Rodin sculptures in the English Garden at the Musée Rodin.
You enter the garden under the gaze of what is probably Rodin’s most famous statue, The Thinker, set up high amongst the roses with a view of the Eiffel Tower in the background. Unfortunately, I found a number of his other famous statues somewhat repulsive e.g. The Burghers of Calais and Balzac. However, many of the others showed his incredible skill at producing such anatomically precise bronzes e.g. The Thinker and The Shade. Which is no doubt why he is recognised as one of the greatest sculptors of all time?
