Wordless Wednesday – Visiting Rodin
A favorite spot in Paris – and certainly my favorite museum – the Musée Rodin features the work of a favorite artist in one gorgeous setting. I was lucky enough to visit it on both of my trips to Paris, and it was a moving experience every time.
Can you spot the Thinker in the fifth picture? The Thinker is one impressive piece of art, without a doubt – yet to me it looks immensely… small, and frail, and human in this huge garden. Seeing it for real completely changed my perspective of it.

A museum I need to put on my list.
This was one of my favorite spots in Paris, too. The day I went, all the museums were on strike, which meant no one could go into the Louvre, but the Musee Rodin was open free to the public. A good friend of mine too me, and she was obsessed with Camille Claudel. It was so fascinating to see her work there, too – which I preferred infinitely to Rodin’s – and to see which parts of his sculptures she either worked on or influenced.
Man IS just so small when compared with all of creation. BEAUTIFUL pictures! I especially love the second-last one.
What captivating shots! That fifth photo is especially gorgeous, and you’re right: the Thinker does seem to be swallowed up by his surroundings. Very thought-provoking.
GORGEOUS.
