Auguste Rodin’s ’The Death of Adonis’ (1903–1906) depicts the tragic end of Adonis, a symbol of beauty and desire. Carved in marble by Rodin’s assistant Louis Mathet, the sculpture embodies Rodin’s emotional intensity and dynamic form. It explores themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of life.
