Auguste Rodin: Danaïd Sculpture
Give an artful gift .
This striking reproduction pays homage to Auguste Rodin’s (French, 1840–1917) design for Danaïd, also known as The Spring. The original sculpture references a story from Greek mythology, in which the Danaïds, or daughters of Danaos, are forced to fill up bottomless vessels with water as punishment for murdering their husbands on their wedding night. Rodin chose to depict one of the Danaïds in a moment of exhaustion and despair, realizing the impossibility of her task. Danaïd was initially conceived as part of The Gates of Hell, but Rodin ultimately elected not to include it.
Produced in cooperation with the Musée Rodin, Paris.
