The Parthenon sculptures in particular were a great source of inspiration. He encountered them first in books, plaster casts in the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and some originals in the Louvre, and then drew them first-hand on several visits to the British Museum. He amassed a collection of antiquities including many fragments of marble sculpture, which he regarded as complete objects in themselves. In his own work he introduced the idea of the headless, limbless torso as object of art in its own right, much influencing his contemporaries.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRodin and the art of ancient Greece brings together all these elements for the first time. It tells the story of the reception of the Parthenon sculptures in the modern era, as well as Rodin’s continued engagement with them throughout his life. The works featured, encompassing a great range of Rodin’s sculptures and drawings together with select sculptures from the Parthenon and Rodin’s own collection, are explored thematically, shedding new light on the life and art of one of the greatest and most radical sculptors of the modern age.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe French romance for Greek marbles, Celeste Farge \u0026amp; Ian Jenkins • Essay by Benedicte Garnier • Catalogue section: Temple of the Muses • Rodin’s Parthenon • Truth to Nature • The Monument • The Fragment • Emotion • Motion\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-tools\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"checkout-tools\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"price-info-wrap\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Secret Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39382558113862,"sku":"2801","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/8921\/4278\/products\/RodinandtheArtofAncientGreece_CelesteFarge_BenedicteGarnierandIanJenkins_Thames_Hudson.jpg?v=1625053135","url":"https:\/\/www.thesecretbookstore.live\/products\/rodin-and-the-art-of-ancient-greece-celeste-farge-benedicte-garnier-and-ian-jenkins-thames-hudson","provider":"The Secret Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
