EDITORS COMMENTS
Auguste Rodin's "Left Hand of Pierre de Wissant" (image 2 of 2) is a captivating work of art that showcases the mastery of the renowned French sculptor. The exact date of this bronze cast is unknown, but it is believed to have been created towards the end of the 19th century. The hand, cast in a rich, warm bronze, is a powerful and evocative representation of the human form. Pierre de Wissant was a Flemish navigator who played a significant role in the early exploration of the New World. Rodin was inspired by the historical figure and the idea of the hand as a symbol of exploration, discovery, and the human connection to the world. The hand is depicted in a relaxed, open position, with the fingers slightly splayed, suggesting a sense of exploration and reaching out towards new horizons. The intricately detailed surface of the hand reveals the artist's meticulous attention to the natural forms of the body. The veins and tendons are rendered with remarkable precision, bringing a sense of life and vitality to the sculpture. The hand's color and texture contrast sharply with the smooth, polished surface of the bronze, creating a striking visual effect. This cast of "Left Hand of Pierre de Wissant" is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Rodin's exploration of the human form and his ability to imbue inanimate objects with a sense of life and emotion make this sculpture a true masterpiece of European art.
