Auguste Rodin, born in Paris on November 12, 1840, was a sculptor whose work had a huge influence on modern art.
Unlike many famous artists, Rodin didn't become widely established until he was in his 40s.
Developing his creative talents during his teens, Rodin later worked in the decorative arts for nearly two decades.
He eventually sculpted the controversial piece "The Vanquished" (renamed "The Age of Bronze"), exhibited in 1877.
Among Rodin's most lauded works is "The Gates of Hell," a monument of various sculpted figures that includes "The Thinker" (1880) and "The Kiss" (1882).
