MWW Artwork of the Day (10/13/21) Auguste Rodin (French, 1840–1917) Eternal Springtime (L'Éternal Printemps)(modelled c. 1881) Bronze sculpture, 25.4 cm. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts

Rodin modeled "Eternal Springtime" while planning his monumental project "The Gates of Hell," the bronze doors inspired by Dante’s Inferno that were commissioned in 1880 for a planned museum of decorative arts. The Gates of Hell were never finished; the original plaster version is now in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris. Although Rodin ultimately did not include "Eternal Springtime" in his composition for the doors, it is among his most celebrated works, daring in the precarious pose of the figures, their lean bodies extended into space, and in the complexity of convex and concave curves as the bodies intertwine.
