The Thinker, this is precisely the name of the sculpture by Auguste Rodin, which has immediately become an #icon of activity such as meditation and reflection up to embody the philosophy which, for each new answer, poses a new question☝️ 😌 💭

☞ Do you know…

‣ The French sculptor had a certain admiration and a good knowledge of the #DivineComedy and its author, so much so that initially this statue should have represented Dante Alighieri in front of the doors of the hell he described, intent on the conception of his immense work

‣ Another curiosity is, of always #Italian influence, the choice to represent his character completely naked. In this way Rodin wanted to transmit heroicity and was inspired by Michelangelo in particular by the statue the “Thoughtful” carved for the tomb of Lorenzo de ‘Medici, located in the Basilica of St Lawrence in Florence
