6Rodin’s The Thinker – Florence

While Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor, his iconic work The Thinker found a permanent home in Florence’s Museo dell’Opera del Duomo.

Originally conceived as part of a larger composition, The Thinker has become a symbol of contemplation and intellectual pursuit. The solitary figure, lost in deep thought, is a representation of the human condition and the pursuit of knowledge. The finely detailed anatomy and the emotional depth captured in the posture make The Thinker a timeless exploration of the human psyche.
