Puvis de Chavannes by Rodin in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2012
Pierre Puvis de Chavannes
modeled ca. 1890, cast ca. 1910
Object Details
Artist: Auguste Rodin (French, Paris 1840–1917 Meudon)
Founder: Cast by Alexis Rudier (French)
Date: modeled ca. 1890, cast ca. 1910
Culture: French
Medium: Bronze
Dimensions: Overall (wt. confirmed): 21 × 20 × 12 1/2 in., 44.2 lb. (53.3 × 50.8 × 31.8 cm, 20 kg)
Classification: Sculpture-Bronze
Credit Line: Gift of Thomas F. Ryan, 1910
Accession Number: 11.173.8
Rodin neither selected his male and female sitters in the same way, nor approached them in the same way artistically. For the most part, he chose male subjects for their achievement and character, his female sitters for their beauty or sensuality. Of the many painters who made Paris the great center of artistic creativity that it was in the second half of the nineteenth century, the two whom Rodin most respected were Eugène Carrière and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes.
In the matter of portraiture, Puvis proved no less difficult than some of Rodin's other friends. The painter was, in fact, very upset with the first, bare-chested bust that Rodin modeled in 1880, at the commission of the French Ministry of Fine Arts, and he was less than happy with the clothed version. Years later Rodin would say "Puvis de Chavannes did not like my bust of him…He thought that I had caricatured him. And yet I am certain that I have expressed in my sculpture all the enthusiasm and veneration that I felt for him."
