Auguste Rodin is still justifiably recognized today as not only one
of the greatest sculptors of all time, but also the father of
modern sculpture. His monument to the "Burghers of Calais" is one
of the best-known public sculptures in the world. So much so that
Edward Horswell decided to curate an exhibition dedicated to the
burghers in 2015. Having spent more than 10 years building one
complete set, the Sladmore was fortunate to secure a second, which,
coupled with the gallery's current stock holding of burghers and
related works, created a most informative exhibition: several
examples of the same sculpture could be viewed together, affording
rich comparisons. In this beautifully illustrated publication,
Horswell explains how the monument came to fruition and looks at
the casting history of the 50 separate works Rodin made on this
subject and focusing on the five reductions made between 1895 and
1903. It also includes an essay by Patrick Elliott, Senior Curator
at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, which
looks at the monument and its influence on sculpture and sculptors
from its first unveiling in 1895 to today.
