罗丹雕塑《思想者》高清图片

作品简介

《思想者》最初是为罗丹的巨型青铜门雕《地狱之门》门楣设计的，俯瞰着受罚者的命运。其独立青铜铸件后来广受欢迎，尤其受到美国藏家青睐。大都会艺术博物馆罗丹藏品的主要捐赠人托马斯·福琼·瑞安，曾向罗丹工作室定制了这尊铸像。从本质上看，《思想者》就是罗丹本人的化身——这尊肌肉虬结却沉思冥想、姿态紧绷又松弛自如的雕塑，正如二十世纪初一位评论家所言，完美体现了"梦想与行动"的统一。

The Thinker was made to sit over the lintel of Rodin’s monumental bronze doorway, The Gates of Hell, contemplating the fate of the damned. Independent bronzes of The Thinker became popular, especially among American patrons. Thomas Fortune Ryan, principal founder of the Rodin collection at The Met, commissioned this cast from the sculptor’s studio. In a real sense, The Thinker is Rodin. Brutishly muscled yet engrossed in thought, coiled in tension yet loose in repose, the sculpture, according to one early twentieth-century critic, embodies both "dream and action."
