This striking work portrays a wounded woman cradled by Asclepius, the Greek god of healing. Rodin drew great inspiration from Michelangelo and his traditional pieta arrangement here recalls the marble Pieta by the Italian master. Conceived of towards the end of his career, Esculape exemplifies Rodin’s extraordinary ability to render the physical extremes of human experience in bronze.
