The Thinker, Rodin's most celebrated work, was conceived as part of his monumental Gates of Hell. This immense bronze ornamental gate was inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy. The Thinker sits at the summit of the Gates and represents the poet meditating on his creation below.
These weighty bookends were reproduced based on the heroic-size bronze original that is now part of the collection of The Baltimore Museum of Art. The DIA hosts another of Rodin's original bronze statues of The Thinker on the Woodward Avenue steps.
