EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Rodin's iconic sculpture, "St. John the Baptist, seen from behind". Created between 1878-80, this bronze masterpiece stands tall at 204x63x113 cm in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France. The image showcases St. John the Baptist as a male figure with a powerful physique. His muscular back is prominently displayed as he stands in a walking position, one hand and arm raised gracefully towards the sky. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour of his subject's body. Rodin skillfully captures both strength and vulnerability through this portrayal of St. John the Baptist. The viewer is invited to contemplate not only the physicality but also the spiritual significance of this biblical figure. Formerly housed in Musee du Luxembourg before finding its home at Musee d'Orsay, this sculpture has become an emblematic piece within Rodin's oeuvre. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate audiences even today. This stunning photograph was taken by Studio Giraudon during the late 19th century and is now part of Bridgeman Images' collection. It serves as a testament to Rodin's mastery as well as an invitation for viewers to delve into deeper contemplation about art, spirituality, and human form.
