METAL
Entitled Mignon, this exquisite bronze represents a twenty-five year old Rose Beuret, Rodin's lifelong companion for more than fifty years, despite his many other lovers. Mother of his son, his model, and finally his wife at the age of 72, she died two weeks after the marriage.
METAL
I know we've done the Metal theme before because I used the perfect photo then, so I had to scrabble a bit for this one. This time I am using probably one of the most famous pieces of metal in the world.
Bronze is a metal alloy consisting primarily of copper, usually with tin as the main additive, but sometimes with other elements such as phosphorus, manganese, aluminum, or silicon.

I was hoping someone would post a statue of Auguste Rodin's sculpture "The Thinker" and you did it! It sure brought back many memories of my first job for overseas. Thanks JMB. :)

Ah an excellent choice. I was thinking of metal from the Paris Rodin museum but I scanned in some old shots of metal on the move! Happy weekend
Oh that is a great find and here I thought you'd post up some of the metal scultpures from the Vancouver area.. but then again, you said you used what you wanted to post already.. :)
Wonderful post. I've seen The Thinker but not the one of Rose. Very beautiful.

Great pictures. Ironic but true: lived for over 10 years in Philadelphia and did visit the Rodin Museum but never thought to take pictures there!!!
The famous 'Thinker' :)
Perfect for the metal theme this week!
I saw Rodin's Thinker in Paris many years ago. :)
Great choice for this week's theme! :)

I find the statue of Rodin's Thinker intriguing. Wonder what he's thinking?
