Auguste Rodin was the father of modern sculpture. A sculptor but also a talented draughtsman, he accomplished his art with an innovative freedom that was recognised by his peers. He won more widespread acclaim in the 1880s and 1890s. He exhibited a little throughout Europe, and the commissions flooded in. His passionate relationship with Camille Claudel, one of his students, also burnished his legend.
