EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating marble sculpture, "Eternal Spring, 1907" created by the renowned French artist Auguste Rodin, is a masterpiece that embodies both sensuality and mythology. Originally modeled in 1881 under the title of "Zephyr and Earth" this exquisite piece was later exhibited as "Cupid and Psyche" at the prestigious Paris Salon in 1897. In this particular print captured by Bridgeman Images, we witness the timeless embrace of two lovers depicted with remarkable detail. The impressionistic style employed by Rodin adds an ethereal quality to their passionate connection. Their nakedness symbolizes vulnerability while simultaneously emphasizing their unbridled desire for one another. Rodin's mastery lies not only in his ability to sculpt stone but also in his skillful portrayal of emotion. The couple's kiss exudes intense intimacy and longing, evoking a sense of eternal love frozen within this momentary encounter. This artwork seamlessly blends classical themes with eroticism, intertwining mythological references with human passion. It serves as a testament to Rodin's ability to capture raw emotions through his sculptures. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this particular marble carving was commissioned by Isaac D. Fletcher, a prominent railroad investor and banker during that era. "Eternal Spring" continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless beauty and profound exploration of love and desire.
