Description: The Thinkeris Auguste Rodin's most famous work. Titled The Poet when it was first created in the 1880s, likely as a nod to 14th century poet Dante Alighieri, the original Thinkerwas only seventy centimeters tall. Rodin crafted the statue of a seated man thinking deeply in an effort to capture the poet contemplating scenes from The Inferno, part of his Divine Comedy.
