Modeled in 1878 by Auguste Rodin, this bronze sculpture captures Saint John the Baptist’s fervent energy. Inspired by an Italian peasant named Pignatelli, Rodin infused the figure with visionary intensity. Exhibited in plaster in 1880, its naturalistic movement and raw emotion marked a departure from traditional sculpture, showcasing Rodin’s innovative approach to capturing human spirit and expression.
