Th Gates of Hell, Auguste Rodin
The Gates of hell is a sculpture by Auguste Rodin that depicts a scene from Dante’s The Divine Comedy. There were three bronze casts made; they reside in The Musee Rodin in Paris, The Rodin Museum in Philadelphia, and the National Museum of Western Art in Ueno Park, Tokyo.
This photo was taken in Philadelphia.

There is certainly a lot happening within this door. Can you imagine the time it took the artist to carve each area? It makes you wonder if the scene drove the person mad, pretty depressing. Still, it’s an impressive piece of work.
