I. Introduction to the work

Eternal Love depicts two young and strong men and women kneeling naked face to face on a rough rock.

2. Introduction to the sculptor

1. auguste rodin (184-1917) was a famous French sculptor. Rodin loved art since he was a child, but his other lessons were terrible. With the support of his sister Mary, his father sent him to Paris Art and Craft School. Sister Mary paid for his room and board with the money she earned. Rodin studied painting with Horace Lecock at the age of 14 and sculpture with Baye, and worked as an assistant to Gary Behles.

2. He went to Brussels, Belgium to create decorative sculptures for five years. He visited Italy in 1875 and was deeply inspired by Michelangelo's works, thus establishing a realistic creative technique. Rodin's position in the history of European sculpture is just like that of the poet Dante in Europe. Rodin and his two students, Mayol and Boodell, are known as the "three pillars" of European sculpture.

3. For modern people, he is the last sculptor in the old period (classicism period) and the first sculptor in the new period (modernism period). He left one foot in the classical courtyard, but the other foot has crossed the threshold of modernism. It can be said that Rodin used his mature and powerful hands during the classicism period.

4. He opened the door to modern sculpture for the new era without being bound by the creative spirit of tradition; When young artists rushed in and ran forward, he was in his twilight years and could not walk. His creation has a great influence on the development of modern European sculpture. Rodin, who tempered his strong hands in the classical period, broke through the shackles and entered the camp of realism, opening the door to modern sculpture.
