Rodin Revisited
I don’t know why, but I really like this. OK, the photoshopping could be a bit neater, but what the heck?
A classic work of art, with an EM interpretation.
I wonder if Rodin’s model was contemplating his country being knocked out of a major football tournament?
The conventional wisdom is that Rodin was depicting the poet Dante contemplating his fate in front of the gates of hell, but having seen some of the sad faces round here after the Turkey match, I’m not so sure.
Still, at least we did better than Austria, our co-hosts. That seems to be the main reaction now.
And by the way, there is a Zurich connection for this post. The Gates of Hell, by M. Rodin is a large bronze sculpture, one cast of which stands outside the Kunsthaus and is well worth seeing. Closure. Geddit?
