Rodin Works: Eternal springtime, Zephyr & the Earth', 'Youth', 'Ideal' |
The 'Torso of Adèle' that Rodin modeled in 1882 (or even as early as autumn 1880 ) was used for the female character and included in the new composition, like Rodin did with many of his figures. In 'The Fallen Angel', we find the complete female figure of 'Eternal Springtime', this time combined with the 'The Caryatid'.
The To simplify the casting in bronze, a version with added attributes - the rock on which the male figure was leaning or the enlarged base which supported the right leg of the male lover - was used as a model in the foundry Leblanc-Barbédienne. Although these additions limited the elan of the original version, this mass edition was highly popular and amounted to 141 copies in various sizes, produced between 1898 and 1918.
