The Gates of Hell

Ever since its formation, Rodin’s famous sculpture “Gates of Hell” has piqued people’s interest and made them immensely curious about its meaning. Rodin wished to rip a scene from Dante’s famous Divine Comedy “The Inferno” and create a bronze sculpture out of it. Not only that, but Rodin worked on this magnificent sculpture for nearly 37 years before his death. It’s obvious that this particular artwork pulled its creator more than any other work.
