Rodin's Burgher Detail #2

Posted by Sidonie (Sydney, Australia) on 15 January 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

With some greyscale conversion and solarized, the signature of Rodin at the feet of this Calais burgher is clearly visible.

Visible too are the rough bits of bronze from casting on the lower calf of the left leg. The black behind the knee is white sunlight. The hand is part of the shadow cast by the statue standing in the hot sun.

NGA Sculpture Garden, Canberra.
