Rodin had a Belgian soldier pose for the statue, keeping photographs which survive (in the Rodin Museum). The pose partly derives from Michelangelo’s Dying Slave in the Louvre Museum, which has the elbow raised above the head. Finished in the traditional dark brown patina. Can also be finished in a verdi patina as shown on 1 photo.
Dimensions: 33” H X 11” L X 11” W

The Age of Bronze (French: L’âge d’airain) is a bronze statue by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917). The original figure is of a life-size nude male, 72 in. (182.9 cm) high. Rodin continued to produce casts of the statue for several decades after it was modelled in 1876. Our bronze replica is scaled to a large desktop zize.

Description

Our handcrafted bronze sculptures are cast in the finest American bronze using the superior lost wax method, finished in a multi-color patina and mounted on a black marble base with an etched brass plate that bears the name of the statue and the artist. Marble base on most smaller statues is included but optional, please let us know if you don’t want your statue mounted on a marble base.

jumbo, life-size, monumental and heroic sizes do not come with a marble base.

Made to order, please allow 4-8 weeks for production and delivery.

Color Choices – We usually cast and finish many of our sculptures with what is referred as multi-color patina. Our bronze sculpture selection may also be customized in a number of fire-applied patinas, such as classic French Brown, Verdigris, Italian Green as well as Gold and other custom finish options. Bronze is a durable material that can withstand the test of time, making it a popular choice for sculptures that can last for centuries. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in nature’s elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired, but if not, can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue with a mild soap and water and by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent an aged patina from forming. Color selection is more a matter of customer preference. Free shipping on all statues.

*Please note that most of our Bronze Statues / Sculptures sizes Jumbo, Monumental, and Heroic can be made into a fountain if desired. Contact us for prices. Under the Notes / Comments enter the description of where you want the water to come out.
