The artist’s figures are sensual and imbued with intense emotion. The bodies are in constant motion and characterized by great energy and force. It is as though human beings are growing from or trying to break out of the stone or clay. Rodin’s sculptures differed from the traditional classicist tradition. In the 19th century, many sculptures were idealised and had a literary content, conveyed through historical costumes or symbols.
These 3D scans have been produced with an Artec Eva with the ambition to produce a digital representation as close to the original as possible. However, the presented scans are not to be regarded as duplicates as due to inaccessible areas etc deviations from the original might occur

I made the model 50cm, then cut it apart into 3 smaller parts to fit inside the printer. After I assembled it, I started with 2 base layers of copper paint, followed by different shades of green, going from dark to light to simulate weathering. It'll be a surprise gift to an athletic friend.
