This replica of Auguste Rodin's 1908 sculpture, alternately titled Christ and Mary Magdalene, Prometheus and the Oceanid, and The Genius and Pity, is a testament to the master sculptor's exploration of universal themes. Made from resin with a white finish and an aged wash, this intricate piece measures 6.75" H x 5.75" W x 5" D and weighs 3.1 lbs. The original marble sculpture, towering at three and a half feet, depicts a dramatic scene: a dying figure nailed to a rock, mourned by a kneeling woman. Rodinβs work blurs the lines between biblical, mythical, and secular narratives, reflecting his belief that the creative life is deeply intertwined with suffering and martyrdom. By assigning the sculpture various titles, Rodin invites viewers to interpret it through multiple lensesβwhether as Christ and Mary Magdalene in an intimate moment of devotion, Prometheus enduring his eternal torment, or as an allegory of artistic struggle and transcendence. This resin reproduction captures the emotional intensity and symbolic depth of Rodin's masterpiece, making it a timeless addition to any art collection.
