Balzac
Bronze, dunkel patiniert. Künstler-Bez. sowie Plakette mit Künstler-Bez. u. Betitelung. Nummeriert "4/12"; Gießer-Inschrift. Schwarzer, dunkelgrün geäderter Marmorsockel. Posthumer, in der 2. Hälfte des 20. Jhs. ausgeführter Guss nach dem 1892/93 entstandenen Gipsmodell im Musée Rodin in Paris. Der Bildhauer hatte 1891 den Auftrag erhalten, ein Denkmal für den 1850 verstorbenen Honoré de Balzac zu schaffen und befasste sich 7 Jahre mit der Figur und der Persönlichkeit Balzacs. In dieser frühen Version als absichtlich ungraziöse Aktstudie brachte Rodin die unmittelbare Natur- und Landverbundenheit, die Vitalität und die Stärke Balzacs zum Ausdruck, der mit breit auseinander gestellten Beinen über einem Baumstumpf steht und seine kraftvollen, muskulösen Arme vor seiner Leibesfülle verschränkt. H. 75 cm. Ges.-H. 80 cm.
