説明 | The Three ShadesBefore 1886Cast made by Fonderie Elexis Rudier in 1928Musee Rodin, ParisIn Dante’s Divine Comedy, the shades, i.e. the souls of the damned, stand at the entrance to Hell, pointing to an unequivocal inscription, “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here”. Rodin made several studies of Shades, before finally deciding to assemble three identical figures that seem to be turning around the same point. He placed them on top of his "The Gates of Hell", from where they could gaze down at the spectator. He then had them enlarged to create a monumental independent group in 1904.As a variation of his”Adam” with a less distorted attitude, Rodin executed '"The Shades" with a twisting, tormented pose. The Three Shades have borrowed, Michelangelo’s influence is obvious here. The angle at which the heads fall downward is so exaggerated that the necks and shoulders form an almost horizontal line. It was through anatomical distortion like this that Rodin achieved an expressive force quite unparalleled in his time.With their left hands they show down and direct the eyes of the viewer to '"The Thinker", who is located immediately beneath 'The Shades'. This threefold repetition of gesture, focussing in the same point, underlines the inevitability of fate, echoeing mythological tales like that of the Greek Moirae. |
