The Shade (sculpture)

The Shade, The Slave or The Titan is a sculpture by the French artist Auguste Rodin.

Evolution

The sculpture was conceived around 1880 and used in triplicate as a part of the artist's large-scale work The Gates of Hell. It evolved into both the full size sculpture The Three Shades, and a separate sculpture of a single figure, The Shade.

The original individual figure had no right hand - Rodin had Josef Maratka add one in 1904 for both the individual figure and The Three Shades.
