Als Auguste Rodin die unter dem Titel «Der Denker» weltbekannte Statue als zentrales, das monumentale «Höllentor» bekrönendes Element konzipierte, trug das Werk noch den Titel «Der Dichter», eine Anspielung auf den berühmten italienischen Poeten Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321), der die «Göttliche Komödie» verfasste, welche als literarische Vorlage für Rodins spektakuläres, bildgewaltiges Portal diente. Die Pose dieser Figur ist der Skulpturengruppe «Ugolino und seine Söhne» von Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827 - 1875) sowie der nachdenklichen Statue des Lorenzo de' Medici von Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564) entlehnt. Rodins Meisterwerk ist in das kollektive Bildgedächtnis eingegangen und zu einem Symbol für den in Gedanken versunkenen, kontemplativen Menschen an sich geworden.
