This picture was shown in an exhibition of Rousseau’s painted studies, held inParis in 1867. In the accompanying catalogue, it was identified as A Morning in Early Summer in the Forest of Fontainebleau and dated 1861. Rousseau’s technique, which builds up a lively, light filled surface with delicate touches of translucent glazes, is characteristic of his ‘ mature style.

Paris, France has wonderful light, especially during the evening hours. Raegan and I were exploring and noticed the beautiful architecture and the evening light combined to make for nice pictures.
She comes so close
You feel her then
She tells you No and No again
Your lip is cut on the edge of her pleated skirt
Blue Alert
Visions of her drawing near
Arise, abide, and disappear
You try to slow it down
It doesn’t work
It’s just another night I guess
All tangled up in nakedness
You even touch yourself
You’re such a flirt
Blue Alert
Blue Alert

The Age of Bronze / L'Âge d'airain by Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), modeled in 1876. This version is on permanent public outdoor display on the Place Rodin in the 16th arrondissement in Paris.
When the statue of a naked male was first exhibited at the 1877 Salon in Paris, France, Rodin was falsely accused of having made the statue by casting a living model, a charge that was vigorously denied.
A Belgian soldier, Auguste Neyt, posed for the nude statue. Rodin kept photographs, which survived and showed the remarkable likeness to the model (in the Rodin Museum).
An important breakthrough for L’Âge d’airain (and Rodin) came in 1880 when the French state ordered a bronze copy. This first bronze version was ordered from the Thiebault Brothers and had a leaf covering the male genitals. It was originally displayed in the Jardin du Luxembourg and is currently in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris (with modesty cover permanently in place).
Well over a hundred bronze copies of the 183 cm life-sized sculpture were cast in Rodin’s lifetime with many in museums but several in private hands. One sold for over €4 million in 2011.
In some other languages L’Âge d’airain is translated as The Age of Bronze (English), Das Eherne Zeitalter (German), Das Zeitalter der Bronze (German), De Bronstijd (Dutch), La edad de bronce (Spanish), L’età del bronze (Italian), and 青銅時代 (Japanese).
