I found this while researching Rilke. It’s so beautiful. Ridiculously beautiful.

I wonder who posed for this sculpture.

Ah, yes. One of my favorite pieces by Rodin. In the bottom photograph it seems like one can almost see the translucence of the skin.
The work was new to me and “blew me away”.
You should see the movie Camille Claudel http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094828 She was one of Rodin’s mistresses. This piece of art also takes part in the movie 🙂
Yes I know, I heard about the film and know about their love story, I’ll get round to that one day; thanks for reminding me.
You wouldn’t happen to be MSN-Nans, would you?
