Paris - La Belle Époque

Mortal Auguste Rodin.jpg

Sobriquet: Auguste

Appearance: As a man of 60, Rodin is still strong and vivacious. His eyes and face are lively and always moving.

Behavior: Auguste is loquacious and friendly. He loves the ladies, and young girls who will sit on his lap are preferred.

History: From the unexpected realism of his first major figure – inspired by his 1875 trip to Italy – to the unconventional memorials whose commissions he later sought, Rodin's reputation grew, such that he became the preeminent French sculptor of his time. By 1900, he was a world-renowned artist. Wealthy private clients sought Rodin's work after his World's Fair exhibit, and he kept company with a variety of high-profile intellectuals and artists. He married his lifelong companion, Rose Beuret, in the last year of both their lives. His sculptures suffered a decline in popularity after his death in 1917, but within a few decades, his legacy solidified. Rodin remains one of the few sculptors widely known outside the visual arts community.
