If you ever get the chance to see Rodin's 'La Porte de l'Enfer', also known as the 'Gates of Hell', do so;  It's much more impressive to view in person than it is from text books or from photographs. The eighteen by twelve foot sculpture is said to depict Dante's 'The Inferno', the third part of his epic poem, 'The Divine Comedy'. There are one hundred and eighty figures within the sculpture, ranging in size from fifteen centimeters to up to more than one meter. Many of Rodin's well known sculptures, 'The Thinker', 'The Kiss', and 'The Three Shades' to name a few, were derived from these smaller depicted scenes. Unfortunately, I didn't think at the time to capture examples of these; I was just so impressed with the detail and expression of the whole thing, that I just shot whatever drew my attention.
