Description
CONTEMPLATION ________________________
"The Thinker".....(How familiar this is to us!)
The Thinker is depicted as a MAN IN SOBER MEDITATION BATTLING WITH AN INTERNAL STRUGGLE. The unique pose with hand to the chin, right elbow to the left knee, and crouching position allows the statue to survey the work with a contemplative feel ______________________________________
One of Auguste Rodin�s most famous sculptures is The Thinker Statue, a piece originally conceived to be part of another work. The Thinker was part of a commission by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris to sculpt a monumental door based on The Divine Comedy of Dante. Each of the statues in the piece represented one of the main characters in the epic poem.
I Painted this painting while looking at a Sculpture of "The Thinker" that I own, starting with a Charcoal Drawing, the introducing color to it with Prismacolor Artist Markers and the use of Black Ink.
